So, I have been a permanent resident since April 23, 2013. I have begun looking into filling out my citizenship application however I am stuck when it comes to verifying my physical presence because I cannot remember the exact travel dates .

I am in Quebec, my family is in Rhode Island, and we have traveled back and forth a few times. It honestly never dawned on me to keep track

How accurate does this have to be? I guess guestimate but exact dates beyond these past two years will be impossible to know, even with Facebook.

It has to be accurate, and you are also required to list all your day trips.

If you're not a US citizen, then you can use the following link to retrieve your i94 travel records instantly. However, do bear in mind that, these are typically not entirely accurate.
https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Alternatively, you could request your CBSA travel history report (only contains entries to Canada),
https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

and your US entry/exit records under FOIA
How to order USA entry/exit records (FOIA) ?

Wow! This is perfect, thank you so much. I am a US citizen, so I'll be going through the US entry/exit record as I've only been to the US. Thank you!
