Hi all

Question for you guys in two scenarios:

Scenario 1: Flight was scheduled to land at 11:30PM June 30, but instead landed at 12:30AM, July 1. The stamp in passport shows June 30 as the border still did not change their stamp. Do you put in June 30 or July 1st on the residence calculator?


Scenario 2: Flight was scheduled to land at 11:30PM June 30, but instead landed at 12:30AM, July 1. You use the automated machines to re-enter Canada. Thus, there is no stamp. Do you put in June 30 or July 1st on the residence calculator? What if you do not remember which flights were delayed? (and the only evidence is your ticket, which says June 30)

You should put the date you actually entered Canada - not the date that your flight was scheduled to arrive.

If you don't remember which flights were delayed, then you'll have to rely on the information on the ticket.

I always err on the safe side if I am not sure. In your case, I'd put Jul 1
