To be able to submit your citizenship application, you'll need to be in Canada. So, once you are safely back on Canadian soil, fill in that date as "date of return" and submit the application

Unfortunately you can't. You need to be inside to file.

As others have pointed out, your last absence from Canada has not ended. Without misrepresentation, there is no way to fill the end date without physically coming to Canada, even if it is for a few days, submitting your application and leaving again. Also, you may want to follow some of the threads regarding applying and leaving Canada. It has implications on your PR because the processing time for overseas applicants seem to be significantly longer.
