Is 1,095 days three years? Not when a leap day falls inside
By this count, almost: a PR since 2 June 2025 who never leaves reaches 1,095 days on 1 June 2028, the day before the third anniversary (2 June 2028). 29 February 2028 falls in between, and 29 February counts like any other day.

The days left
Every day, five years
1 Jun 2023 – 31 May 2028 · 1,827 days
The five years start 1 Jun 2023, but nothing counts before 2 Jun 2025, so the calendar starts there. The window slides with the date.
Every day from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028. 0 trips taken, 0 days away in all. By this count, the 1,095 days are there on 1 June 2028. Today is 18 October 2026.
Worked through
The count is days, not years: 1,095 days in the five years before you sign. From 2 June 2025 — the PR date counts — to the day before 1 June 2028, there are 1,095 days, one of them 29 February 2028. Three calendar years would be one day more.
Sign on 1 June 2028 and the window is 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028; everything in it before 2 June 2025 is time without PR, and here there was none in Canada.
The day matters more than it looks: IRCC asks for the same date in the calculation, on its printout and on your application.
What would change the answer
- A full day away moves it a day later, onto the anniversary; a same-day trip moves nothing: same-day trips to the US.
- With time in Canada before PR, the date comes sooner by half of it: two years as a student before PR.
