Filling application this month -- Stuck with couple of questions - LOE? && Sending application?

[rajucheers]

Hello Experts,

1. What should I fill an answer for this question? I'm outside Canada for couple of vacations (maximum 20 days.) Should I fill this information as well?

Please list all addresses inside and outside of Canada during your entire five (5) year eligibility period. Start with the most recent. If there are any
missing days or periods of time, your application will be returned to you

2. Can I send my child's and my application in same envelop to CIC? OR What is the best way to send them?
3. Should I send them Letter Of Explanation (LOE)?

Thanks
Raj

1) Your holidays/vacations are NOT listed under the addresses you have lived at.
See the Instruction Guide:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/application-canadian-citizenship-adults.html
"You don’t need to include addresses of family, friends, hotels or resorts where you stayed while on vacation."

But you do need to enter them in your Physical Presence Calculator as time away from Canada. See here:
https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do
"List all your time away from Canada, including travel for work or vacation, in the last five years"

2) If your child is part of your application add them to your envelope. See here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0003-application-canadian-citizenship-minors-under-18-years.html#step5
"Include all family members’ applications in the same envelope as the application."

3) I'm not sure what your LOE would be for. You could add a simple "Please see enclosed the application for citizenship for myself and my child".

Good luck
