Maybe somebody can help me with this:
My wife came to Canada as a temporary worker in august 2014 and she became PR in September 2016.
We want to apply for Canadian citizenship in November 2018 so i went through physical presence calculator and it shows me 'Your eligibility period is 2013-11-18 to 2018-11-18' and she got 1,107 days from 1,095
My questions is:
1.Is she can apply for canadian citizeship?
2. If yes, what we should do wit gap between 2013-11 and 2014-08?
3.And if she can apply, in Application form CIT0002 for question "During your eligibility period did you live outside of Canada? Yes or NO
Thanks

Did she make sure to enter all the trips she had outside Canada during the eligibility period? If so, and the calculator told you that she had 1,107 days, then she is eligible to apply.

And yes, she did live outside of Canada within the eligibility period. She moved to Canada less than 5 years ago, so there was a period within the past five years where she was not residing in Canada.

Yes,i double check calculator with all dates include period from 2013-11 till 2014-08 and it's still shows that she eligible. So do i need to fill Residence Outside of Canada form (CIT 0177)?

Yes, you do.

Here is the instruction about that particular question, if you check 'Yes' to the question on whether or not you lived outside Canada during the eligibility period:

If you checked YES please complete and submit the Residence Outside of Canada form (CIT 0177) with your completed application, along with your print out of the Physical Presence Calculation
You need to check 'Yes' for Q9, because you lived outside Canada within the eligibility period (past 5 years).

The purpose of that form is for them to figure out whether any days that you spent outside the country can count towards fulfilling the physical presence requirements.

If none of the exceptions applies to you, then you would indicate this in the form, but you still have to fill out the form (truthfully), regardless whether or not any of the exceptions applies to you.

The days before she got the PR count as half days towards residence requirements. Make sure you entered correct info about that when asked about it in calculator.

It's says "Complete either Section A or Section B", but she not going under either one! Not under CROWN SERVANT FAMILY MEMBER OR CROWN SERVANT APPLICANT, so we should just leave blanks there? or maybe I can't get it, need help with it as well
And already thank a lot!)

Fill in the names and demographics but for the remainder just type in Not Applicable.

Hello, I need help with filling question 10b. I moved to Canada 3years and 1 month ago which means i was out of Canada for more than 183 days before I moved to Canada. Do I need a police certificate for the time spent before becoming a permanent resident? Thank you.

Yes. If you spent 183 days in any one country during the past 4 years (even if it was before you became a PR) you must provide the Police Clearance Certificate.
