Hi All,

I need your advise here regarding online physical Presence Calculator. which following option should i choose?

1- do i put the details according to my study or work permit document issue date/ expiry ?
2- do i put the details according to my situation like i completed my study in june 2013 on valid study permit and off campus work permit and i got job as full time in July,2013 but post graduate work permit issued me in August,2013. which i was mentioned in my PR application as well.

so i am confused here either i go according to my study/work permit document expiry or option 2?

Please advise

You have to list all your details starting from when you first came into canada, what you were doing. Note that you will only be credited with one year but you still have to list them all.

hope this help?

The way i see it, you still have 6 more months (Jun - Nov) for your travel date and your citizenship process might or might not be completed before then. We can only do a rough forecast since every applicant timeline is different. That being said, miracles happen every day and who knows, you might actually get your citizenship way before that. So this is your decision to make. If I'm in your place, I would definitely wait for a couple more months to see what happens with your file and then send in your PR renewal application. Also keep in mind that the current processing time for PR renewal card is 117 days (4 months). Be (mentally) prepared that while your PR renewal is in process, you might actually get your Citizenship (you might lose your PR application fee if it's not refundable) but at least you will have a backup plan in place and have some mental peace ;)

The ball is in your court and it's your move! Plan well.
I hope things will work out for you smoothly..Good luck!

Just to add on the above, note as well that if you do get your citizenship before December, you would then require a Canadian Passport in order to get into the country. The Renewal of the PR Card is only 50$ where as the Canadian Passport will cost you for the very least 120$; that's without adding any Expedited Service Fee, which could potentially be another 110$ (1 day processing). That said, if I were you, I would definitely go with what Kal said and submit the PR renewal within the next few months
