While preparing the physical presence calculator data, I have encountered a situation. I have stayed continuously for the last 3 years (Aug 2017 - Sep 2020). Prior to that I was in other country from 2014-Aug 2017. My 5 yr eligibility period is from Sep 2015-Sep 2020. How do I enter my initial absence? Sep 2015-Aug 2017....or 2014 - Aug 2017? Please advise.
I think it's only section 10(a) on the Application form where you list all the addresses lived outside Canada, with the explanation so that you don't have to provide a police certificate for the time lived outside in your country of origin before becoming PR. The physical calculator only requires your absence while you are on PR I believe? If someone on this forum can confirm this, it would be great.
