Hello Everyone,
I am hoping someone can provide a little insight on how the days are calculated on the Physical Presence Calculator on the Canadian Immigration website to alleviate the confusion I am having for eligibility days.
I had become a permanent resident March 2014. In these years I had travelled and worked abroad quite a bit to finally be able to qualify for the required 1095 days. I understand only the days in the past 5 years will be accounted for. My intention was to apply at the end of August however, it looks like I am still falling short by 47 days. The calculator says I would not be eligible to apply till 2021-10-10. Would someone be able to clarify why it would take this long to make up for the 47 days plus the extra for just safety net? Maybe I am just reading the calculations wrong. Thanks in advance!
