About this app

Presence Tracker is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing the Government of Canada or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This app provides estimates for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or immigration advice. Always verify requirements at canada.ca and consult a qualified immigration lawyer or regulated consultant for advice specific to your situation.

Track your physical presence in Canada for Permanent Residency (730 days) and Citizenship (1,095 days) — automatically, offline, with zero guesswork.

Log every trip outside Canada and Presence Tracker instantly calculates your accumulated days against IRCC's rolling 5-year window, so you always know exactly where you stand. Presence Tracker is an independent app and is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.

THE TWO REQUIREMENTS IT TRACKS
• Permanent Residency: 730 days inside Canada in every rolling five-year period.
• Citizenship: 1,095 days of physical presence in the five years before you apply.

YOUR FULL STATUS HISTORY
Most calculators only count days. Presence Tracker also records how you held status — visitor, student, work permit, permanent resident — and applies IRCC's rules for you, including the half-day credit for time before you became a permanent resident, capped at 365 days. Any stretch with no status logged is flagged, so your total is never quietly wrong.
