Quite Worried: Spent 1040 Days Outside of Canada and Trying to Renew PR Card

[Frank Thomas]

Greetings to Everyone,
I am quite worried. I became a landed immigrant/permanent resident on August 17, 2015. Since then I was in and out of Canada for my employment responsibilities in my home country prior to fully moving to Canada on June 15, 2018.

I’m trying to apply to get a new PR card sent to me by mail and in filling out the form, my calculations showed that I had been out of the Canadian territory for 1040 days.


I have so far done at least 826 days within Canada from June 15, 2018 to present but I don’t know if immigration will consider those dates while renewing my application. Does the fact I have already spent 1040 days outside of Canada reduce my chances of renewing my PR card? Would I be able to apply for citizenship once I get to do 1095

You have spent 730 days in Canada within the past 5 years so the fact of having spent 1040 days outside of Canada is not relevant. You mention that number as if it had particular significance, but it does not.

That is great, then. Thank you so much for reassuring me. I thought they would only consider how much time I spent from 2015 to 2019 and not consider this year.
