A three-month trip: how much later is your citizenship date?
By this count, by exactly its days away. Three months in Pakistan, from 1 June 2025 to 1 September 2025, is 91 days, and it moves a PR since 8 January 2024 from 7 January 2027 to 8 April 2027: the five years before you sign must hold 1,095 days in Canada either way.
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
8 Apr 2022 – 7 Apr 2027 · 1,826 days
The five years start 8 Apr 2022, but nothing counts before 8 Jan 2024, so the calendar starts there. The window slides with the date.
Every day from 8 April 2022 to 7 April 2027. 1 trip taken, 91 days away in all. By this count, the 1,095 days are there on 8 April 2027. Today is 18 October 2026. Pakistan: 1 Jun 2025 to 1 Sep 2025, 91 days away.
Worked through
You left on 1 June 2025 and came back on 1 September 2025. Both of those are days in Canada, so the days away are the 91 in between.
With no time before PR, every day of the 1,095 is a day as a PR, and each day away is one more to wait: 91 days later.
What would change the answer
- Days away before PR cost only half: trips abroad before PR.
- A trip after the date costs nothing, if you sign first: a trip before your citizenship date.
- Away for years, the date waits until the window holds no more of the trip than it can spare: away for years after becoming a PR.
