Interesting indeed, when i was reading up on it this week about the days abroad with my husband counts for physical presence on the CIC site. Does this also apply to the citizenship application? I am seriously considering put in a new application when I return to Canada. If it doesn't count as physical presence I have to spend maybe 6 weeks to make the amount of days and if it does, I just want to reapply right away. Particularly since this 3 year waiting time for a judge appointment is just eating away at me. I was reading several posts here on the forum that the processing time is far faster now.
