PR since March 2024: when can you apply for citizenship?
By this count, on 21 April 2027. Became a PR on 15 March 2024, no time in Canada before that, and two holidays — 37 days away in all: the five years before 21 April 2027 hold the 1,095 days citizenship asks for.
Checked against the Government of Canada’s pages on 18 October 2026. Sources: Canadian citizenship: who can apply, Physical presence calculator: frequently asked questions.

The days left
Every day, five years
21 Apr 2022 – 20 Apr 2027 · 1,826 days
The five years start 21 Apr 2022, but nothing counts before 15 Mar 2024, so the calendar starts there. The window slides with the date.
Every day from 21 April 2022 to 20 April 2027. 2 trips taken, 37 days away in all. By this count, the 1,095 days are there on 21 April 2027. Today is 18 October 2026. Mexico: 20 Dec 2024 to 5 Jan 2025, 15 days away. Italy: 1 Aug 2025 to 24 Aug 2025, 22 days away.
Worked through
Staying put, the date would be 15 March 2027, the third anniversary: 1,095 days as a PR. Each full day abroad moves it a day, and the trips are 15 and 22 days away — the days you leave and come back are days in Canada — so 37 days later: 21 April 2027.
On that date, the window is 21 April 2022 to 20 April 2027. Nothing before your PR date counts here, since this case has no time in Canada before it.
What would change the answer
- A trip you take after the date doesn’t move it, as long as you sign before you go: a trip before your citizenship date.
- Time here as a worker or student before PR brings it closer, by half: one year as a worker before PR.
- Signing a little after the date leaves room if a trip was miscounted: applying the day you reach 1,095.
