Topic: Renewal PR card 5-Year Period

Lucilda

Sir/Madam:
I have the PR card and would like to renew it from within Canada. However, I have some concerns regarding the obligation to stay in Canada for 730 days within 5 years.
In 2012 I had to go to my country of origin for 23 days and I am wondering how these days of absence from Canada affect the 730-day requirement.

To which date does the immigration officer count the 730 days back when I apply for the renewal from within Canada?
Does he count back from the day of expiry?

Does he count back from the day of application for renewal?
Are other beginnings?

Thanks for an answer.
