Hello,
Would like to clarify a question in the Physical Presence Calculator:
In the Physical Presence Calculator it says “ list the periods of time you had authorized temporary resident or protected person status in Canada and the type of status you had between 2015-03-25 and 2017-12-08”
The entry I entered initially was:
Type: Temporary Worker (This was a post graduate work permit PGWP)
From: 10-10-2014 (mm-dd-yyyy)
To: 01-08-2017 (mm-dd-yyyy)
Because that’s what I had for my PGWP document
However that entry was not accepted by the Physical Presence calculator. So I entered the below instead:
Type: Temporary Worker
From: 01-01-2015
To: 12-08-2017
Before it accepted my entry. The reason I entered the above is because by 03-10-2017 I had received another work permit, pending the decision on my PR application (notice the date from the first entry, 01-08-2017 – this is when my PGWP expired but my application for PR was being processed – make sense?) . Then by 12-09-2017 I became a PR (my landing documents proof that). My understanding is that it the calculator is not calculating before 2014 but rather focuses on the period of 2015-03-25 to 2017-12-08? Is that correct? If so is my entry correct above (the second one that the calculator accepted) ?? or should it have more than one entry to reflect the work permit I had from 03-10-2017 to 03-10-2019 before becoming a PR (it does not allow me to put that into the entry either --- FYI)
Thanks in advance and let me know if this is not clear.
Thank You!!
