calculating the period of physical residency (residency obligation)

[bzoubir75]

Hello;

Is it true that every day spent in Canada during the first three months of residence (after confirmation of permanent residence) account for half day (1 day = 1/2 day)?

there are two dates on my card, date of confirmation of permanent residence and the experation date of the card.
What is the reference date for the calculation of the Five-Year period, is-that is the date of the confirmation of permanent residence?

thank you

NO. It isn't true. 1 day = 1 day. The reference date is the day that you "landed" and your COPR was signed by an immigration officer. Once over 1825 days have elapsed since that day, the (current day - 1825) is the reference date.

There are no half days for PR. Any day or part of a day spent in Canada after landing as a PR counts as a full day towards the PR residency requirements.

The reference date for the PR residency requirements is your landing date. You have to meet the residency obligation in your first 5 years as a PR counting from your landing date. After having been a PR for 5 years or longer, you must always meet the residency obligation for the past 5 years.

Does it mean the residency obligation will be calculated from the date of landing even if one applied for renewal a year after the expiration of PR card?

What an old thread! It would be better to post your question anew, rather than resurrecting something long dead.

Your RO will be calculated from the last five years.
