Count your days in Canada correctly
Every trip outside the country moves two dates: when you meet the permanent residency obligation, and when you can apply for citizenship. This app keeps both in front of you instead of in a spreadsheet.

What it does
Four things, done properly.
Trips, not guesswork
Record each departure and return once. Absences are counted from the record, so a forgotten weekend abroad stops being a surprise three years later.
Two counters at once
The 730-day residency obligation runs on a rolling five-year window; the 1,095 days for citizenship do not. Both are shown separately, with the date each is met.
Shared with family
A workspace can hold more than one person, so a spouse or child on the same timeline is tracked in the same place rather than in a second copy of everything.
Citizenship test practice
Practice questions and flashcards drawn from the official study material, with the page each one came from, so an answer you doubt can be checked at the source.
How it works
- Set your PR date. Everything is counted from it, so the app asks for it first and once.
- Add your trips. Departure and return dates. Attach a boarding pass or stamp photo if you want the evidence kept with the entry.
- Watch the two dates. The dashboard shows days accumulated, days remaining, and the earliest date each threshold is met.
- Study when you are ready. The practice module is there for the test, once the days are no longer the problem.
Common questions
How many days must a permanent resident be in Canada?
A permanent resident must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within every rolling five-year period to meet the residency obligation.
How many days are needed to apply for Canadian citizenship?
1,095 days of physical presence within the five years before applying. Time spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident can count as half a day, up to a maximum of 365 days.
Does the app decide my immigration status?
No. It keeps your own travel records and shows the resulting counts. Official decisions are made only by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Your travel history stays yours
Trip records are personal data, and the app treats them that way. What is stored and why is written out in plain language in the privacy policy — worth two minutes before you enter years of travel. privacy policy
