Quick Take
Understand how the rolling 5-year PR residency obligation is evaluated and how to self-check early.
Question 1: How does the rolling window work?
Each evaluation day uses a rolling 5-year window and recalculates in-Canada counted days.
Question 2: Are departure/return days counted as absence?
Usually only full days between departure and return are counted as outside days; same-day return is usually zero.
Question 3: How can the app reduce risk?
Add planned trips first, then use row-level risk signals to adjust plans before booking.
