Hey Marceau,
I believe it is counted as residency time.
As you have already filed your application, I have a question for you. If one applies for a work permit renewal before the expiration of the current one and gets the new work permit 1 month after the expiry date of the current work permit. That person is automatically is implied as temporay worker for 1 month. Does that person while completing the presence calculator have to make a seperate entry for month implied status as temp worker?
As per the link

i believe we dont have to specifically break down that 1 month of implied status.
Kindly shed some light.
