This version works best when you have a clean list of entry and exit dates from passports, tickets, a spreadsheet, or your own travel log and want a faster way to total the periods.
The tool counts each date range you enter as an inclusive period, meaning both the start date and end date are counted in the result when the range is valid.
Use this page when you have clean entry and exit dates from passports, tickets, a spreadsheet, or your own travel records and do not need to derive the dates from I-94 history.
The calculator does not determine your legal status on its own. You should still compare the result with official guidance and the documents you plan to rely on.
This tool calculates the number of days spent in Canada based on your entry and exit dates. To use:
YYYY-MM-DD.Some visitors want to separate days before and after a permanent resident approval date because the underlying rules they are checking may treat those periods differently. This page does not interpret those rules for you, but it gives you a cleaner breakdown so you can review your timeline more efficiently.
If you visited Canada from 2024-01-10 to 2024-01-20 and again from 2024-03-01 to 2024-03-05, enter those as two separate lines. The calculator will total both periods and list each one in the result details.
This page is a good fit when you maintain your own travel log and want to compare it with airline confirmations, border records, or immigration paperwork before filing.
If you are using this calculator for Canadian residency planning, it helps to read the broader background as well. You can continue with our Canada Residency 101 guide or review the official residency pages from the Government of Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency.
This calculator is a convenience tool. It does not know whether a day should be counted under a specific legal program, whether an exception applies to your case, or whether your source records are complete. Always verify the final number against official instructions and your own documents.
