Canadian Citizenship Residency Calculator
Estimate your physical presence in Canada for citizenship: 1,095 days in the 5 years before you apply. Days as a permanent resident count fully; days in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before PR count as half days, up to 365.
Good to know
- Time spent in Canada without legal status does not count.
- Time on probation, on parole or in prison does not count (with some exceptions).
- You must also have filed taxes for at least 3 of the 5 years, and applicants aged 18–54 must meet the language requirement and pass the citizenship test.
- This is an estimate. IRCC’s official calculator and your travel records decide.
