Hi all,

I did spent a few years prior to becoming a PR in Canada. A part of it was when I was a student, and then became an 'international worker' until I officially got my PR status.

For the Physical Presence Calculator, do I need to rely on the dates I have in my work permit (as the start date of my 'international worker' period), or the issue date of my work visa? There is 2 months of difference between the issue date of my work permit, and the issue date of my work visa. I would rely on the work permit itself as that's the primary document to show the status; but wanted to get your input on this.

Do we also enter the date where we flag-polled to get our PR status to the calculator?

Thanks!
