How many days have you spent in Canada?
Count your days of physical presence in Canada from your arrival date and your trips, and see where you stand for PR card renewal and citizenship.
For each trip: the day you left Canada and the day you returned. Departure and return days both count as in-Canada days.
No trips added. Add your trips outside Canada since you arrived.

Your data stays on your device. No date entered here is sent to a server — everything is saved locally (localStorage). For the official calculation, use IRCC's calculator.
Author's note: the most common cause of a PR-renewal refusal is miscounting trips — people forget weekend getaways to the United States or family visits to Europe. Use passport stamps and boarding-pass emails as your reference. And a tip: bookmark this page — your data is kept locally between visits.
