Hello,
First of all, I want to thank everyone who can provide some input on my question below.

Post C6 bill implementation I am eligible to apply for citizenship as confirmed by the physical presence calculator available on CIC. However, my job took me outside of Canada from Nov 2016-Present. The current application states (Question 9c) to fill out form CIT0177E if you have lived outside of Canada in the eligibility period. When I look at the CIT0177E form, it mentions that the applicant or applicant's family member working outside of Canada for armed forces or government related work should fill in the form.
However, this is not the situation I am in. I moved out due to my job (that is not in the armed forces or goverment job category). Form does not elaborate on for people in my situation.

Would anybody know what to do in this situation?

Thank you
