Yes it is. Please read this from the IRCC website, '
Each day spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person within the last 5 years counts as
one half day when you calculate your physical presence. You can use a
maximum of 365 days as a temporary resident or protected person toward your time spent in Canada.
A temporary resident is someone who is authorized to enter or stay in Canada as a:
- visitor
- student
- worker or
- temporary resident permit holder
A protected person is someone who:
- was found to be in need of protection or a convention refugee by the Immigration and Refugee Board or
- received a positive decision on a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
If you made a refugee claim, or were included on a family member’s refugee claim, you won’t be credited time in Canada from the date of the refugee claim until you receive a positive decision confirming you are a protected person.
