Would it be safer to not count in the days of departure and return when calculating days outside canada?

By law those days are counted as your time in Canada and it is even mentioned on IRCC website.

The link to the Google sheet is in my signature. I will add your details. Let me know once the application has been received.

The application is initially processed at Sydney, NS office and then sent to the local visa office based on your location.

Question about PR card while I'm waiting for the Citizenship Application. I'm going to be sending off my Citizenship Application at the end of this week, so I guess it will get to Nova Scotia next week sometime. The current wait time for it to be processed says 12mths. My PR card is going to expire in April 2021 - should I apply to renew it now? Or what will happen if my PR card expires while I'm waiting for my citizenship application? Can I still work and use my SIN?

This has been mentioned NUMEROUS times on the forum but I will mention it again.

Your PR status and PR card are completely different entities. Your PR card expiry has no bearing on your PR status and needless to say, no bearing on your SIN, work in Canada or your Citizenship application.

Losing your permanent resident status
You don’t lose your permanent resident status when your PR card expires. You can only lose your status if you go through an official process.

_________________________

Yes, you can apply to renew your PR card now.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/who-can-apply.html

You should only apply for a PR card if:

• your card has expired or will expire in less than 9 months
• your card is lost, stolen, or destroyed
• you didn’t receive your card within 180 days of immigrating to Canada
• you need to update your card to:
  • legally change your name
  • change your citizenship
  • change your gender designation
  • correct your date of birth

Also, if you factor in the current Covid-19 related processing delays, we might be looking at much more than 12 months of processing time.
