Citizenship physical presence calculator - do I declare implied status?

[Otmail1091]

Hi All!

1. Do I declare or do not declare the implied status (waiting on decision re my visitor visa) when calculating physical presence for citizenship?
In physical presence calculator they ask:
Type of status I had between 2015-06-16 and 2017-05-10
I held numerous visitor visas but had 3-4 months gaps between them (implied status) as they were reviewing my applications.
So do I count those months or do I omit those months of waiting (being in implied status) and put the dates exactly as they appear on my visitor visa records?

2. If I held two types of statuses simultaneously (visitor and Temporary worker): do I declare both though I held them at the same time?

3. And then again in the main application they ask for the status during 2015-06-16 to 2017-05-10 (when status was obtained and when expired).

And I am not sure how to put it: exactly how it appears on all my visitor records and work permit?
And just ignore the months when I was in implied status? Or declare them as in implied status?

Thank You in advance for your help!

Time spent as a visitor in Canada prior to becoming a PR does not earn credit towards citizenship residency obligation. Therefore, time spent on implied status waiting for your visitor status to be renewed would also not count.
Only time spent as a legal worker or student earns (½) credit.

Or protected persons!

NOT TRUE

From IRCC (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility.html#time):

"Each day spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person within the last 5 years counts as one half day when you calculate your physical presence. You can use a maximum of 365 days as a temporary resident or protected person toward your time spent in Canada.

A temporary resident is someone who is authorized to enter or stay in Canada as a:

• visitor
• student
• worker or
• temporary resident permit holder"

Someone from francophone forum used his implied status to get the minimun 1095 days. His application was later rejected. Please see below
