Eligibility Period Travel confusion

[rehman_naveed]

Hi can someone help me please
I entered canada first time in my life with Family on work permit 24th June 2013, remained in canada and become PR card Holder 24th March 2016. I am applying citizenship on 15th April 2018.
Now the physical calculator takes me back to 5 years starting 15th April 2013.
My Question is
1. from 15th April 2013 till 24th June 2013 ( even i was not in canada during this period) do I need to tell the travel history period during this specific period ( 15th april 2013 till 24 june 2013) while living outside canada.
Please advice

Put one "travel" there, the one in your home country. If you visited other countries while there, list them in the explanation of that single one.
Same logic as the post-PR trips when you visit many countries.

Many thanks for the reply
I am still confused as when I fill physical calculator it says as

*Did you leave Canada between 2013-04-15 and 2018-04-15? Answer 'Yes' if you left Canada for any reason including vacation, work, business, family matters, school, illness, etc.
Only the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application are considered for calculating the physical presence requirement.
Day trips, i.e., absences where you left Canada and came back on the same day must be declared.

When I was not physically in canada from 15th April 2013 till 24th June 2013, there is no question of showing travel between such period.
I think I will explain in plain paper this confusion to them, what do you think?

Hi @rehman_naveed

The question wording is confusing.

Same as me I landed in Canada in Aug 2014 for the first time ..but my eligibility period is from March 2013...

So march 2013 to Aug 2014 i was not in Canada ever but the qyestion is asking "did u leave canada during ur eligibilty period?"... I added March 2013 to Aug 2014 absence in the calculator because I was not here (absent).

The calculator will see that you were not in canada during that time and will put a 0 absence in it..so its good.

You are eligible to apply the day after you have accumulated 1095 days of presence.
The 5 years period is only the window where you can claim days of presence. Any day in Canada in 2012 won't count.
You may want to tell that person if he's waiting for no reason
