Online Physical Calculator - Automatic Calculation Inaccuracies

[Philip.Murphy2017]

Hey guys,

Hoping you can help me out with this as I hope my last 3 hours haven't gone to waste. When I printed out the completed calculation I see that the # of days column (to the right does) not equal the actual time spent away.

For example, I was out of the country from 18th November 2012 to the 25th November 2012 which should equal 6 days (not counting day of arrival and departure). The column to the right says only 3.0 days.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this how the calculator credits me for my temporary visa status?

Any guidance would be appreciated,

Love this forum although its the first time I've posted

It is because everyday you spend as a temporary resident during the eligibility period and before becoming pr is counted as 0.5 (half day)

Great that makes sense but the way it comes out at the end is a little confusing. I didn't see this noted in forms or online but maybe I overlooked it.

Thank you for getting back to me and putting my mind at ease.

Hello everyone, can I please seek advise to the experts...

On the Online Physical Calculator, it says that my eligibility period is Oct 18,2012 to Oct 18, 2017.
I came to Canada last March 2013 as a worker and became PR on June 2015. There is a question that says, did you leave Canada between your eligibility period? I was not yet in Canada on Oct 18, 2012 until March 2013, so should I state the date and place/country where I was during that time as absence from Canada?

Thank you!

Even though you were not in Canada until march 2013 during the 5 year period, you still need to list the absence from oct 2012 to march 2013 as well.
