Example 1
An applicant entered Canada for the first time as an authorized temporary resident on April 1, 2014, was lawfully admitted to Canada as a permanent resident on April 1, 2016, and signed the citizenship application on April 1, 2018.
In this case, the applicant has accumulated the maximum 365 days of physical presence as an authorized temporary resident before becoming a permanent resident, and 730 days of physical presence after lawful admission as a permanent resident. This gives the applicant 1095 days of physical presence within the five-year period before the date of application, as long as the applicant does not have absences or time spent serving a sentence.
NPR = April 1, 2014
PR = April 1, 2016
Date of application = April 1, 2018
Calculation: Physical presence = 365 NPR days + 730 PR days = 1095 days of physical presence
Breakdown:
NPR
01APR2014 to 31MAR2015 = 365
01APR2015 to 31MAR2016 = 366
365 + 366 = 731 x 0.5 = 365.5
Maximum NPR = 365
