Please help: does "All address in the past 4 years" include travelling addresses

[jrjayl]

When I am filling out the citizenship application form, they ask me All address in the past 4 years and do not exclude any period.
I went back to my original county a few times and the states as well. Do I need to fill in those addresses?
Or I only need to fill in my residential addresses in Canada? I am confused. And I really do not remember where I stayed when I was outside the country...
Thanks everyone!

In my case, I was out of Canada twice prior to submitting my application. First was 3 weeks to my home country and secord was 7 days to another country. I put "VACATION" as reasons for these absences and I did not include these in my residential addresses as I did not reside in these places, I went to these places only for vacation. I hope this helps you somehow.

So my understanding is that those travel addresses are not the actual addresses where I stayed for residential purposes, so I don't have to include them.
Thanks for replying!

That's right. If you go to Cuba or Hawaii and spend 3 weeks in the sun it doesn't mean you're residing, working or studying there. I guess you kept your rented place and you paid your bills while away.
I did not indicate the address for a 2 months vacation I spent in my country of origin but I made it clear between brackets like this
2012-02-01 2014-03-30 Address xxxxxxxxx
(vacation from xx xx xx to xx xx xx)

You are 100% right in the first part. I don't get the second part of the reply.

Where in the instruction it is given that you have to provide the address during vacation? Even in the residency calculator we need just put the country and city + reason for absence.

So the answer to OP is just first part of your reply. As long as the residence address did not change don't worry about vacation addresses. Even though we were/are/will-be on vacation, our address and home is always some Canadian address.

Do not exclude any period means in your address history for four years do not exclude even a single day. Make sure all 4 years is counted in that table.

For example
1. If you are switching rentals and between two lease agreements you temporarily lived in a friend's house or hotel do not exclude it. Add your friend's address on those dates. Don't ignore it even if it is a single day.
2. Or you vacated your rental home and went to your home country for two months and came back to a different address. Then you have to put your home country address for that period.
3. You are living in an address rental or your own home. Went to a foreign country or home country for two months. came back to the same house. Ignore the foreign address. (This you need to mention it in the residency calculator as absence from Canada. No need for address, just country and city name is required).
