You must always submit your calculation if the application is for
an adult (18 or older)
a minor (under 18) who has
at least 1 Canadian parent, or
a parent who’s also applying for Canadian citizenship at the same time
We’ll return your application if you submit it without your calculation.
You don’t need to submit the travel journal with your application. It’s for your personal use only (to help you complete the physical presence calculation).
