The application takes into account only the last 5 years for physical presence requirements from the date you sign it.
For me going 5 years back, my starting date for physical presence would be 2015-11-15. I was 'not' in Canada on that day - I was in the US. And the date I actually left Canada was couple of months before that 2015-09-27 (I had work in the US).
What should I put for 'Date left Canada' for my 'oldest absence row' entry for the 5 years under consideration for physical presence?
* If I put 2015-09-27, then that takes into consideration days which are beyond past 5 years, messing up the calculation (and we have to enter days count on the form by subtracting start, end dates for each 'absence' row)
* If I put 2015-11-15, then although the calculation looks correct in this case but that wasn't the 'actual' date I left Canada.
Thanks for your help.
