Yup, I have accounted for the days outside of the last 5 year period. Last update: Application is approved. Card has been mailed.

Yes, I have since stayed in Canada so I should have more than 830 days in the last 5 years by now.

What do you mean by any day?

I'm in similar situation. Submitted May 1, 2024 (with 739 days inside Canada). Linked GC Key July 19. So far they asked for more information and consent to access CBSA records.

I became PR Jan 30, 2019. Spent 3 years outside of Canada. Submitted PR Renewal application on May 1st, 2024 (with 739 days inside Canada in the last 5 years). I traveled a lot during the last 2 years but waited until I have more than 730 days to renew my PR card. Do I meet the RO requirement...

What is Inspect mode?

I was requested to send: Photocopies of ALL pages (including blank pages) of all your current passport- or travel document(s) - used to enter or leave Canada or other countries since your landing in Canada. All pages must be photocopied in colour and must be clearly legible. I guess the copy I...

Hi, Thanks for sharing the story. May I ask how long did it take you to get the PRDT? I submitted my PR application 3 months ago (May 1st) and an urgency request last month. IRCC confirmed that they received and approved the urgency request, however, I plan to travel at the end of August and...

Thank you for the input! Should I or should I not withdraw the application. I submitted the webform but will call IRCC tomorrow.

I am aware of this and still about 70 days short if business travel days are not counted.

I have received mixed opinions on business travels. The consensus was the validity of the Canadian business and the nature of the assignment abroad. I guess I can submit a webform to withdraw the application.

Hi there, would appreciate if you could let us know the final decision of your case. Thanks.

Hi all, I have just submitted my PR card renewal application. The problem is I am falling short of the 730 RO requirement due to frequent business trips. I first landed in Canada in Jan 30, 2019 but only stayed for 2 weeks. Due to the pandemic, I wasn't able to move until December 2021. (By...

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have looked into it and have also received mixed opinions on this. I think it would depend on the case officer to decide whether or not to count my business trips as part of the 730 days. I think most will advise me to wait until I meet the 730 RO to...

Most of them are one or two weeks long, the longest was nearly a month. Yeah I’d be about 60 days short by the end of the 1st 5 years… I wasn’t able to move during the pandemic, and by the time I did, I had less than 2 months + 2 years so I should have stayed in Canada but my job didn’t allow...

Thanks. Hopefully… I was hoping I could count the business trips but many are saying I can’t. Noted.

Thanks. Initially I thought business trips will be counted towards the 730 days… as I am working on a full time basis for a Canadian organization and on a short time assignment overseas. I’ll wait until I meet the RO to submit my renewal application then… And yes I need to travel for my job… :(

Hi folks, I obtained Permanent Residency (first landing) on January 30, 2019 and stayed in Canada for a short 2 weeks. However, due to personal reasons and Covid, I was not able to travel to/ live in Canada until December 2021. The plan was to live in Canada for 2 years continuously and meet...
