Quick Take
Trip planning should include residency impact, not only schedule and ticket costs.
Question 1: Why add plans before booking?
It exposes risk before commitment, helping avoid timeline surprises later.
Question 2: How to read signal lights?
Green means safer margin, yellow means near boundary, red means clear risk.
Question 3: How to reduce risk?
Avoid long continuous absences, split travel blocks, and protect key in-Canada days.
