IRCC counts the departure and return dates as days in Canada. This tracker subtracts only the full days between them and keeps documented time-abroad exceptions separate.

Read before relying

Context matters.

  • IRCC requires a complete travel journal and supporting evidence. Overlapping trips are counted only once in this tracker.
  • Employment and accompanying-family time abroad count only in defined IRCC situations; selecting an exception is not proof that it applies.
  • Fewer than 730 entered days does not automatically mean permanent resident status has been lost. A formal determination, appeal and humanitarian factors can matter.

Questions answered

What to know before using the result.

Do the day I leave Canada and the day I return count as absences?

No. IRCC's IMM 5444 instructions say both dates count as days in Canada, so CalcSpan subtracts only the full days between them.

Can time outside Canada count toward the 730 days?

Sometimes, but only in defined employment or accompanying-family situations with supporting evidence. The tool applies those days only after you explicitly confirm the exception review.

Does a result below 730 mean PR status is automatically lost?

No. Status loss requires a formal process, and appeals or humanitarian and compassionate factors may matter. This page only audits the entered day record.
