I know CIC's website says: Within the last 4 years, if you spent 183 days or more in another country (other than Canada), you must provide a police certificate.
My problem is when I printed out the calculator, one of the absence trips within four years was calculated as zero, not sure why.
If calculated this way, I have been absent for 178 days which is very close to 183, though I have been advised to still obtain the police certificate just to be safe.
And if we include the two more absent trips which was calculated zero (one within 4 years and one beyond), it will be 195 days.
So do I need the police certificate or not? Seems like the calculator and the 4 year policy are contradictory...
I really don't want the application to be returned again.
Thank you so much in advance for your kind answer.
