Very confusing. Trying to count days of residency, I read that a spouse or common-law partner travelling outside Canada with a Canadian citizen, can count the days outside Canada as full days of residency in view of Canadian citizenship days of residence. BUT on the Immigration website, it says only members of Armed Forces and the like can count days outside Canada as full days of residency. (Accompanying a Canadian Citizen Spouse Overseas - Questions about Permanent Residency - Discussions Forum). Some help needed here please.
