Minimum residency obligations
....

• you must have been physically present in Canada for a minimum of 730 days within the past five (5) years.

...


June 1st 2012 ----------------- First landing and got PR (Present 214 days)
2013 ----------------- Canada (Present 365 days)
July 1st 2014 ------------------- Left Canada (Present 181 days)
2015 ------------------- Outside Canada (0 days)
2016 ------------------- Outside Canada (0 days)
Dec 1st 2017 ------------------- Came back (Present 31 days)
Jan 1st 2018 ------------------- Left Canada

1. What is the past five years period, for example:

If they count present days for past five years at the day of December 31 2018,
Do they count days within past five years from Jan 1st 2013 to Dec 31 2017 OR from Jan 1st 2014 to Dec 31 2018 ?

2. According to the record, if the person is going to leave Canada at Jan 1st 2018, does it mean he will not be able to meet the obligation event he leave Canada only one day? (from 2013 to 2017, 365 + 181 + 31 < 730)


Thanks very much for your help

It says past five years, not past five Calendar years! It means Day of reckoning minus 5*365...

becareful
(5 years or 6 years) it is a period of time (it is a window)
for instance you will not meet the RO in 2018 because year 2012 will not counting

Since you have passed the initial 5 year oeriod, it's now a rolling 5 years. So any date before September 24 2012 is no longer counted. As of Dec 31, 2017 you would have 365/181/31 and would not be in compliance with RO. The previous 5 year rule is now from the date of entry or renewal back 5 years from that day. You are in fact, not in compliance right now based on your days in Canada. If you were to leave Jan1,2018, it would in fact make it worse as days spent in 3013 would start dropping off.

I feel real happy to meet great people here and get your kind help.

As you don't meet the RO, there is a definite possibility of being reported upon entry. Unless you have strong H&C reasons for remaining outside of Canada, you would lose your PR status.

Thank you, the list is an example for precisely explaining my questions, my situation in fact is better than that.
