Physical presence

How the 1,095-day rule works.

At least 1,095 days (3 years) of physical presence in Canada during the 5 years immediately before the date you sign your application.
Yes, partly. Each day you were physically in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person within the 5-year window counts as a half-day, up to a maximum of 365 days of credit.
Beyond physical presence, you must have filed income taxes for at least 3 years within the window (if required), meet language and knowledge requirements (ages 18 to 54), and have no prohibitions. This tool estimates presence only.
No. It is a simplified estimate. IRCC’s official Physical Presence Calculator counts each absence day-by-day. Book a chance for a free consultation for a reviewed calculation.
