do you have stamps on your passport that are not in English/French and did you provide translation? I know the entire passport thing is not mandatory but just want to see how you handle this.

Hello, please how were you able to add a co-applicant? Each time I try to invite my wife's email, I get an error message that I cannot invite this email, contact the co-applicant. I've tried with 3 different emails. Is this because I signed my application before trying to invite her?
Hello Everyone,
I am applying for Canadian citizenship and need some clarification regarding the physical presence calculator. I arrived in Canada on a closed work permit on January 1, 2019, and stayed until February 5, 2021, without leaving the country during that time.
I applied for a work permit extension on September 27, 2019, and received confirmation (though I don’t recall the exact date), with the new permit valid until November 8, 2020. Since I remained in Canada throughout, I have a few questions about filling out the "Add Temporary Residence Status" section:
1. Temporary Resident Status: In the dropdown menu, should I select "Temporary Foreign Worker" or "Temporary Resident Permit Holder"?
2. Date You Received the Status: I received my work permit and travel visa on November 8, 2018, but I entered Canada on January 1, 2019. Which date should I enter here—the date I entered Canada or the date I received the visa?
3. Date Your Status Expired: My initial work permit expired on November 8, 2019, and I applied for an extension before it expired. While waiting for approval, I was on implied status until the extension was granted, and my status continued through 2020. What date should I enter for "Date your status expired" in this case?
I also had to leave Canada for family reasons on February 5, 2021, and returned on June 30, 2022. I understand that the days I was outside Canada will be deducted from my physical presence calculation.Is that understanding correct ?
Can someone help me figure out the correct details to enter?
01-Jan-2019 to 05-Feb-2021 : Closed work Permit (In Canada)
05-Feb-2021 to 29-Jun-2022: Out of Canada for Family reason
30-Jun-2022 to 31-Aug-2022: Closed Work permit (In Canada)
01-Sep-2022 till Date: PR (In Canada)
Thanks in advance.
