Question about listing "Absence" in the Physical Presence Calculator: Had not lived in Canada prior to becoming PR

[wink]

Hi,
Apologies if this question has been asked before.

So, I am using the Physical Presence Calculator. Below is my information:
Date of becoming PR: 2017-01-16
Five-year period according to the Calculator: 2016-07-02 and 2021-07-01

I did no lived in Canada between 2016-07-02 and the date I became a PR (2017-01-16). In fact, I had not stepped foot on Canada prior to the day I became a PR.

It seems absurd for me to list any days of absence between 2016-07-02 and 2017-01-16 in the format of "Date you left Canada" and "Data your returned to Canada), but the calculator is asking me to list all absences during the five-year period as specified above. I didn't leave Canada because I was not there.

What should I do?

Thanks.

We should also keep in mind that many PRs apply for citizenship after living here for five years or more and they might have something enter here.

Hello

I have the same question as yours. Were you able to find the answer? Should I list absences that fall within the eligibility period of 5 years but before I got the PR (Never entered Canada before becoming a PR)?

What did you do in your case and was your application accepted/AOR received?

Thank you
