Trying to determine which of the following best suits the answer against
21. TRAVEL HISTORY:
with the following parameters:
Became PR: 2/15/2013
Application Date:9/25/2017
Reminder:
When in doubt, follow the instructions; otherwise, yep, follow the instructions.
Item 21 in the PRC application form clearly refers to what travel history is relevant; it refers to travel outside Canada "
. . . in the last five (5) years (or if you became a permanent resident less than five (5) years ago, since becoming a permanent resident)" . . . and . . . "
include ALL absences."
This can hardly be expressed more clearly. But again, if in doubt refer to the instruction guide where it states:
Your Travel History: You must list all your absences from Canada in the last five (5) years, or since becoming a permanent resident if less than five (5) years ago.
(As long as the total number of days absent is less than 1095, the PR is in compliance with the PR Residency Obligation.)
Proposed responses:
1. From 2/15/2013 To 2/15/2018
Captures the 5 years from PR date.
Apart from this not following the instructions, a person cannot verify future facts. You cannot truthfully state whether you are absent or present in Canada future days.
2. From 9/25/2012 To 9/24/2017
Covers 5 years from the date I am submitting
No. This covers days prior to when you became a PR.
3. From 2/15/2013 To 9/24/2017
Only if the date you sign the application is September 24 or 25, 2017.
For someone who has been a PR less than five years, absences should be listed from the date of landing to the date the PRC application is signed. That simple. That's it.
