Hello guys! This might have been asked and answered already but please allow me to ask again. ;)

So I am starting to prepare for our citizenship application and I just have a question about this...

My husband (Canadian) and I together with my son traveled to the US for a week. Is this considered an absence?
I read somewhere (I cannot find it at the moment lol) that if you travel with Canadian spouse it is not counted as absence. is this true? I know I can print the I-94 to prove that we all traveled together.
How about on the PR calculator? should I include the travel or not?

Please enlighten me :)



Thank you!

1. Yes. Only is your CC spouse was transferred temporarily to a job in a foreign country would the absence count for maintaining PR obligations, Citizenship requires actual presence in Canada.
