Try filling out the calculator, it should tell you exactly how many days you need:

https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do?&lang=en&_ga=2.70291091.262708417.1504631789-1595147342.1466110939

"
When calculating your time in Canada:

  • only the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application are taken into account;
  • each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a day (up to a maximum of 365 days);
  • each day you were physically present in Canada after you became a permanent resident counts as one day;
  • time spent serving a sentence for an offence in Canada (e.g. serving a term of imprisonment, probation and/or parole) cannot be counted towards your physical presence - there are some exceptions.
In order to help you decide when to apply, the physical presence calculator calculates if and when you will meet the 1,095 day requirement.
