Hey guys,
I've got a quick question here for you all and I appreciate any help you can give me.
On the surface, my answer to this question is, Yes. I have been back to the UK 4 times over the past 4 years:
Trip 1 - 13 days for cousin's wedding
Trip 2 - 151 days (when I left Canada to wait for my PR to be granted - between my work permit and PR).
Trip 3 - 6 days for another cousin's wedding
Trip 4 - 45 days for a wedding and Christmas last year
Total - 215 days.
Here is my question. On my Physical Presence Calculator the # days column for Trip 1 shows 6.5 days - the reason being that this was during my temporary worker period so all days in Canada and outside Canada are treated as half days. Also, Trip 2 actually states 0 days - because this was after my work permit expired and before my PR was initiated.
So, in reality, yes, I have been out of Canada for more than 183 days in the past 4 years. However, my Physical Presence Calculator's calculation says no, because some days don't count.
In your opinion will I still need the police check for the UK? Or, will they go by the calculator and not bother about the time I was there between my work permit and PR?
Many thanks for your help in advance!
Jon
