Are you sure that wasn't under the old rules, and the transitional arrangements that ended on 30 June? Out of interest, why not put your dates in to the calculator again today and see what you get?

I suspect you used the calculator in June (I'm guessing your permanent residency was granted before 1 July 2007).

You weren't in Australia for that period, so perhaps you should now go back to the calculator and put in your dates correctly.

And that includes the absence from August 2007 (or whenever you returned after validation) to February 2008.

As Roaringmouse is trying to explain, you need to put in to the calculator ALL dates not in Australia (at least in the last four years) REGARDLESS of whether you had PR at the time or not.

Does Citizenship residency requirements (during last four years) starts from date of any valid visa validation? or from the date a valid visa granted? Is it the same case for PR visa?
