Question on Physical Presence

[ashok2ravi]

Friends,

I have a quick question on calculating my physical presence. I came here on work permit, and as per calculation I get 365 days of my physical presence. I got my COPR end of Mar 2021, but PR Card came around October 2021. If I consider my COPR date for calculation, I get more than 2 years of presence and adding my work permit days, I easily cross 1200 days. But if I consider my PR Card date, I still have to wait for 1095 days completion.

What date should I consider for my physical presence? The date I got my COPR?

When did you become Permanent Resident?
The Card PR has that date at the back

to get 365 days you must have al least 730 days in canada before you became Permanent Resident.

My bad, Just checked on my back of PR card and it shows 30March2021. Yes, I do have more than 730 days in Canada in work permit before that. Considering my 1 month of vacation earlier this year, I have more than 1200 days Physical Presence.. Hope it is good to proceed further.. Any word of caution?

Just make sure your dates are correct and you haven't missed any trips.

Go for online. It's easy to manage and quicker to get AOR.
