To preface, I've been a resident since 1997 - I am *finally* applying for Citizenship!!
In completing the application, I am reviewing the physical presence calculator, and have a question:
In recording the absences from Canada, I have a departure that began before the eligibility period and ended inside the eligibility period. I have 1298 days of physical presence. Do I enter the departure date as the first day of the eligibility period (and not include those extra days before (outside of) the eligibility period) ? I prepared the calculator with the full timeline I was out of Canada, and got an error stating that I am including dates before the period in question, and that is why I ask.
Just want to be truthful on application, so not sure how best to complete this task.
Thank you.
