In the presence calculator you should list your time in India as an absence; India is the "destination" and any other countries visited before you came to Canada, but during the five year eligibility period, you just list the name of the countries visited in the space for describing reasons for the absence. No need for specific dates, since the dates covering the time in India cover the whole absence. Yeah, this seems a bit odd, and perhaps in the near future IRCC will modify how this works for pre-PR time, but for now the instructions state to declare that period as an absence even if it is prior to your first trip to Canada.I cannot enter those dates in the physical presence calculator as I do not have date I left and entered Canada. As during that time I was not connected to Canada at all...So shall I stay for those dates I was staying in India? and give Indian address rather than writing those days as vacation?
Item 10.a is for RESIDENTIAL not temporary addresses.
