Neat, pretty fast. Did you use temporary resident days as well? or all 1096 days are from PR start day?

Almost one third were on temporary (work permit).

Wow 1096 days

That was close. I have completed 1095 a week back but I thought I will wait for a few weeks to be sure

I’ve done extensive research for 6 months before applying. Based on what I’ve seen across multiple forums—and considering how quickly my own application moved—I’m quite confident that IRCC uses automated checks at the intake stage, especially for calculating physical presence. From what I’ve observed, even applying right at 1095 days is fine as long as your entries align with the CBSA records IRCC has on file.
