If I’m applying for citizenship, do I still have to submit the physical presence calculation if I submit the travel journal?

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).
