Folks,
Need your help in figuring out this one. Please advise on what would you do in this situation.
In the last four years, I just had one but LONG vacation (outside Canada) but to multiple Countries. When I use the online calculator to see when I am eligible for Citizenship, it gives me multiple options based on same input but put in different ways.

Basically I went to three different Countries. If I break the whole vacation into three, it gives me march 23 as the eligibility date BUT if I bulk the whole vacation into one large vacation, it gives me march 29 as the eligibility date. I am more than okay to wait for a while before I am eligible but due to the new law coming into effect, I want to keep myself alert and apply when eligible.

should I use the non-online form?
I am confused and need your advise on this one.

I just want to know the RIGHT way to do this without my application getting returned.
Has anyone had one long vacation but to multiple countries and how did you guys do it?

If anyone wants to know the specific dates and can help me, send me a private message and i can give you the dates. I would appreciate this.

Thanks and have a great day,

I just read this line:

Note: If you visited more than one country during the same absence, list the first country in 'Destination' and list the other countries in the 'Reason' field.

Does this means that I do not have to list all the Countries in the 'Destination'?

Interesting.. So I can 'bulk them in one absence'...


Any notes/comments?

You need to bulk the countries into one visit/vacation.

Thanks Scylla. I appreciate your time reading it and responding to it as well. I will bulk the vacation into one and mention the countries I visited under 'Reason'. Wil it make any difference/easier if I use the manual form to calculate this and submit it?
