The online application expects you to be in Canada while submitting the application. Many temporarily came back, did the submission and left. Few gave a date of return a few days before application submission, eventhough they not in Canada and did a submission. You have to write a letter of explanation explaining you did it and also have additional buffer for the extra days you got for physical presence because of dummy return date.

Not doing submission from Canada and being outside Canada for a long time can have impact on the processing time of your application. It might lead to interview with an officer and also oath could be delayed till you are back. Please make a note of that too.

Thank you for your response.
I will definitely attach an explanation letter for putting the dummy return date.
