Presence Calculator Issue

[LHaywood1]

Hi there,

My fiance is ready to submit his Citizenship application and I have a question regarding the presence calculator. His eligibility dates are 2013-09-01 to 2018-09-01. He became PR on 2015-06-01.

The calculator states "*Did you leave Canada between 2013-09-01 and 2018-09-01?" would you enter all the days before 2015-06-01 as an absence? because he technically didn't have any status before then except a couple of weeks on visitor status

Between the eligibility period only.

Visitor status is status. You MUST list visitor status when asked if he had status before becoming a PR.

Apart from that, you don't need to list absences while he didn't have status at all. For example, you don't need to list times before he was a visitor. Double check that in the end the calculator lists the right number of days.

You may want to check what you have entered fir the period prior to becoming PR. Only work related visa or student might be valid for pre PR time.

Hi,
any legal status is valid for pre PR time.

Visitor status is also valid. Any temporary residence is valid. Even being a tourist for two weeks fulfils the Canadian definition of temporary resident.
