Quick question regarding Q11 guys,
I have always been a full time student, but at some points I was working in a lab and getting paid (minimally). Similarly, when I started my masters, I received many scholarships, are these considered as being employed by the university?

The instruction guide says

" We encourage applicants to apply with more than the minimum requirement of 1095 days of physical presence, to account for any miscalculations of absences, or any other aspect that could lower the physical presence total below 1095 days."

What you guys think will be a good buffer? 5-10 days ?

Be careful when filling the french form, as they left all the mistakes in that one
- The form asks you to fill in the crown servant form if you say you went outside of the country in the french form, the one in english asks if you lived outside of Canada, which makes more sense, so I guess we have to check no and not send the form
- The form asks you if you have any other residency or citizenship besides the Canadian RP and your country of birth but the english one asks you if you have any other residency outside of Canada, including your country of birth citizenship. So if you do have your country of birth citizenship, you need to check yes and mention it

My question is, can I just mention about vacations only in presence calculator or also in the form sec 10 A with hotel address (1 week or 2 days)?

==============================================================================================


==============================================================================================
1) Do I have to mention anywhere in the form that I have visited other countries for a week or 2 days or 2 weeks for vacations?
2) Online Calculator is not working When I select start calculation, Is it for everyone or because of high load?
3) How long is the processing time?
1. No i did not mention in the form.
2.Its not working for me as well
3. 12 months as of now

Date you will sign your application

It calculates the relevant period: date you sign your application minus 5 years

Date you became PR

List your immigration status between the start of your relevant period till you became PR

List all the visits and purpose of visits outside Canada

This "living outside Canada question" is beyond frustrating. Because if you tick "yes" you are asked to fill a form that doesn't even apply to your situation. The question should ask "have you lived outside Canada and do you intend to claim those days for residency".

Seriously, IRCC, get your sh*t together.

I am not sure why we are all confused about this question. The answer is clearly "NO"...Am i missing something.. The instruction guide clearly states that

There are very rare circumstances that will let you count time outside of Canada towards your physical presence calculation. If you resided outside of Canada because either:

  • you
  • your Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse or common law partner
  • permanent resident parent
was employed outside Canada (not as a locally engaged person) in or with:

  • the Canadian Armed Forces
  • the federal public administration
  • the public service of a province or territory
Complete the Residence Outside of Canada form (CIT 0177) and submit any supporting documents requested in that form with your application.
