Question 9c During your eligibility period did you live outside of Canada?

[Mazcar]

Anyone knows how to answer this question?
What if I left Canada for a vacation or a visit? should I answer yes in this case?
The help section doesn't provide any details about this matter

Also have the same problem here, even the days before coming here in Canada is included in my eligibility period as it is within the 5year period before application date.

In the letter, you should explain to CIC that the question was a bit confusing so you want to further explain your situation. Tell them that yes, you did infact live outside of the country during your eligibility period as you have indicated on the citizenship application form but that you are not a Crown Servant Family Member or a Crown Servant Applicant, so none of the questions in the form CIT-0177 are applicable to you. Also, include in the letter your eligibility period, the period of time your lived outside the country during your eligibility period and when you received Canadian Permanent Residence.

Yes, you also need to date and sign the letter, also include the address of where the Citizenship Application is being sent and reference the letter "RE: Question 9c - Application for Canadian Citizenship Adults CIT-0002. I would suggest, date be same date that is on your application. But please don't use what I wrote here word for word. Use your own wording. Good luck!
