PR card 730-day residency calculator

To keep PR status you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years, and the days do not need to be continuous. Enter your trips abroad to count yours. Everything stays in this browser tab; nothing is sent or saved.

Trips outside Canada

Tick “counts” only for time abroad that IRCC lists as counting, such as accompanying a Canadian-citizen spouse or working full-time for a Canadian business or government.

Your result appears here as you type.

How this calculator counts

  • The calculation covers the five years up to the date you choose. If you became a permanent resident more recently, it starts on the date you gained that status.
  • IRCC counts the day you leave Canada and the day you return as days in Canada.
  • Overlapping trips are counted once. This is arithmetic from the dates you enter, not a decision on your status; an officer decides.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official IRCC tool?

No. It is an independent calculator. It does the arithmetic only; IRCC decides each case.

Are my travel dates saved or sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs in your browser and the dates stay in this tab only. Closing the tab clears them.

How are departure and return days counted?

IRCC counts the day you leave Canada and the day you return as days in Canada.
