Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
I am sorry if this question have been discussed many time in this forum, but i couldn't find any discussions on exactly what i need.

I want to know how days of absence are counted
For eg:
If I Leave Canada on Friday at 1:00 PM and come back to Canada on Monday at 9:00 AM
Am I absent for just Sat and Sun i.e. 2 days
or Fri, Sat and Sun i.e. 3 days

Since I read somewhere that if you spend anytime of day in Canada that day is counted towards your PR days, but i cudn't find any reference to this, if someone could provide links to truth behind this information that would be great.

Thanks in advance.
 
For PR requirements, you are absent 2 days because any part of a day spent in Canada counts as a full day. You can find this here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op10-eng.pdf on page 16, section 6.4:

Any part of a day spent in Canada, or otherwise in compliance with A28(2)(a), is to be counted as one full day for the purpose of calculating the 730 days in a five-year period.
