To be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you must have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the five years immediately before the date of your application. So you need to provide the status inside Canada e.g. between 2018-2023

Take a look at this example which I provided on a separate thread..

You should start working on the PPC tool to get all necessary info about the number of days: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do

Once you feed the dates in the tool the system will automatically calculate time inside Canada as a student and PR

You have to list every single absence from the country in the last 5 years.
Giving a partial assessment of your physical presence, even if you don't "need" the additional days before the PR, would only add scrunity to your application.
