Urgent Advice Needed: Physical Presence Calculator

[amuramed]

Hi. I am getting different numbers from the physical presence calculator and from the online application. I would appreciate any help.

I became PR Feb 10 2020.

I have had to travel for work, so I have been in Canada the following dates:

2020-02-10 to 2020-02-14
2020-05-29 to 2021-03-13
2021-06-10 to 2021-09-08
2021-10-11 to 2021-10-11
2022-01-28 to 2022-03-24
2022-03-30 to 2022-05-08
2022-07-29 to 2022-10-26
2022-10-28 to 2022-11-02
2022-12-17 to 2023-05-24
2023-05-27 to 2023-06-26
2023-07-03 to 2023-09-28
2023-10-21 to 2023-11-15
2023-11-20 to 2023-12-24
2023-12-31 to 2024-06-04
2024-06-09 to present

How many days have I been in Canada (the calculators give me two different dates of being in for 1095 days, one is July 14 2024 and one is June 29 2024.

Are you sure there was no input issue when you entered these dates?
No-one here reported such a discrepancy before, and the 2 weeks difference suggests you forgot to input an exit in one of the 2 tools.
Try again and see.
If the difference persists (it shouldn't), open Excel and any website that calculates the difference between 2 dates and calculate the number of days yourself, triple check it and then make sure, when you apply in a few weeks (have a good buffer, it will make your application go faster!), that it matches the calculation you made.

Well, I think you're making this the wrong way, the physical presence calculator takes as inputs the dates you were out of Canada, not in Canada. Try to do it the other way around:

1. Date you left Canada - date you returned to Canada

Typically the travel dates count as in Canada, so if you traveled from June 1 to June 3, you only spent June 2nd outside Canada, for a total of 1 day. If you are inputting the dates as the days you were in Canada, like 2020-02-10 to 2020-02-14, then the system will assume you were only in Canada for 3 days in that example, when it should've been 5.
