Canada Citizenship Physical Presence Calculator

This physical presence calculator tracks your days toward the Canadian citizenship requirement: 1,095 days physically in Canada within the 5 years before you apply. Enter your PR landing date, log your trips outside Canada, and the counter shows your day total, a progress bar to 1,095, and a full breakdown — PR days present, pre-PR credit, and days abroad that fall inside your eligibility window.

It follows the same rules as IRCC's official calculator: departure and return days both count as days in Canada (only full days abroad are subtracted), and time spent in Canada before becoming a PR — as a worker, student or protected person — counts at half a day each, capped at 365 days of credit and only within the 5-year window. Where this counter goes further is forward planning: instead of naively adding your remaining days to today, it re-simulates the sliding 5-year window at future dates, because presence and half-day credits at the trailing edge fall out of the window as it moves. The projected eligibility date you see accounts for that.

When you have a date, one tap downloads a calendar (.ics) reminder with a 7-day advance alarm. Everything is saved locally in your browser — your travel history never leaves your device — so you can update the counter after each trip. It checks the days requirement only; confirm tax-filing and other criteria with IRCC before you apply.
