PR Renewal Form Query - Reporting Day Trips the US

Hi Guys,

Has anybody got experience in filling out the renewal form, most notably the section to fill out for time spent outside of the country?

I've been on several trips to the States for a day, driving down to shop or other fun stuff. I was wondering how I report this. Technically any part of a day spent in Canada is treated as a full day and can be counted towards the RO, yet I'm sure the CBSA will have several entry dates on my PR record. The US border only stamp my passport when I needed a new waiver so there's some trips that they haven't stamped on my passport but the CBSA will have a record of my entry to Canada on the same day.

What would be the best course of action;

  • If I treat the days as days in Canada and not mention the trip to the US, my application will surely be delayed and queried further once they get my CBSA record
  • If I mention the trips, how do I show that they were just a day trip and I came back to Canada the same day

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
