Entering Canada with close to RO requirement days

[kimiarun]

Hi All,

Here is our situation for my family trying to enter Canada with little over 730 days requirement .

First landing : Entry on 01-Jul-2015 and Exit on 05-JUL-2015 ( 5 Calendar Days)
Second visit : Entry on 14- Aug-2016 and Exit on 18-Aug-2016 ( 5 Calendar Days)

My family is moving here for good on 07-JUL-2018 (with 724 Calendar days left to 5 yrs completion from landing i.e 30-JUN-2020)

Will it be a problem while entering by road with this date range ?
What kind of questions will be asked at border ? Will there be a secondary clearance ?
Any inputs will be appreciated .

Since it is after almost 2 years, so there is good chance of secondary. There will be standard questions like when you left etc but since you are only 6 days short of missing the RO. So I feel it should not be a problem. You can make a general statement like you will be able to meet the RO if asked and that you are not have any more travel outside of Canada.
