While answering this question I am very much confused and don't want to give false information inadvertently.

The question is
"Has the minor been outside of Canada for a total of 730 days or more (2 years or more) in the past five (5) years or since becoming a permanent resident? Yes or No

Let us break this into two parts
  1. Has the minor been outside of Canada for a total of 730 days or more (2 years or more) in the past five (5) years?
  2. Or, has the minor been outside of Canada for a total of 730 days or more (2 years or more) since becoming a permanent resident?
Fact:
My kid became a permanent resident on October 22, 2021, and She hasn't been outside Canada since then.

My response as I understand the question is:
Since the kid became a permanent resident on October 22, 2021, and I mentioned that she has not been outside Canada since then, I only need to consider the time frame since becoming a permanent resident. In this case, the answer to the question is "No," because my child has not been outside of Canada for 730 days or more since becoming a permanent resident. The first part of the question (past five years) does not apply since my child's permanent residency started more recently.

Experts, please guide.

Hi,

We are in the same situation, with my daughter becoming a PR on Sep 12th 2021 and not been outside since then. Could you please let me know how did you proceed with the application?

Given the context, I'm quite sure this means whichever is most recent (i.e. the date of becoming a PR or the date five years back from date of application, if the person became a PR more than five years ago).

Because that's what they look at for the 1095 days of time-in-Canada - days since becoming a PR, OR last five years.
