Curiosity : away from canada without losing PR

[screech339]

Not really. It will only calculate four years, not five. It only gives credit for one-half of the entry & exit days (in effect, based on citizenship calculation approach counting one or the other of the entry and exit days).

The most difficult part of the calculation, no matter which method is employed, is getting all the entry and exit dates right.

Also too is that if a PR has been in Canada for 1 minute, it still counts toward PR RO. There is no requirement to show you must stay 24 hours (or pass midnight) in Canada to make it count towards RO.
