π¨π¦ CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP: ARE YOU COUNTING YOUR 1,095 DAYS CORRECTLY? π
Planning to become a Canadian citizen? Your physical presence in Canada is a key part of your eligibility!
β
1,095 days of physical presence within the 5-year eligibility period.
β
At least 730 days as a Permanent Resident (PR).
β
Pre-PR time may count: Eligible time in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person may count as half-days, up to a maximum credit of 365 days.
β
Tax obligations matter: You may need to have met your Canadian income tax filing obligations for at least 3 taxation years within the 5-year eligibility period.
π SkyPortal Tip: Consider having more than 1,095 days of physical presence to allow a buffer for possible miscalculations. Review your travel history and use IRCCβs physical presence calculator before applying.
