The calculator sheet itself will take into consideration the day you board the flight as day in Canada, so don't worry and start by including the day of travel to the day you landed back to Canada.

I indicated day I boarded aircraft as day I leave Canada. There was one incident when I boarded on Oct 12 and arrived in another country on Oct 14 and got stamped then, but I indicated Oct 12 as day I left Canada. That day will be counted as day in Canada.

This is not a silly question. Some applicants made the mistake of counting their absence from the day they arrived (stamped) at a foreign country, which resulted in denial of application.
