Yes he should mention any work history.

The problem is that the online application is pretty inflexible. If you submit the work history directly, you'd need to put down some dates.

My suggestion would be that you can either put a "best" guess on the dates and include a Letter Of Explanation (LOE) explaining that you don't remember the exact dates and so this is a guess. Or leave it off entirely and go with homemaker (being a few days it's not such a big deal) - but include the LOE that there was so-and-so warehouse as an employer for a few days, but you don't remember the exact date. (If you can say these few days occurred in a date range, say month of July in 2022, or Spring 2023, that probably helps.)

The main thing here is to use the LOE to provide as much as you can and explain as much as you can. Show that despite forgetting some details, you're being honest about everything and disclosing everything you can to IRCC upfront.

Yes he should mention any work history.

I agree that honesty is the best policy here. But also worth pointing out https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...ho-have-worked-remotely.872714/#post-11095790 and https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...ship-applications.869454/page-6#post-11050590

That should be fine. As per https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ces/canadian-citizenship/adult-minor/who.html the requirement is actually "You may need to file taxes in Canada for at least 3 years during the 5 years right before the date you apply" so even if he had to file in 2020 but missed that, he is still okay because he still has 4 out of 5. (If he didn't file in 2020 because he wasn't required to - say he was unemployed the whole year as a result of covid and had no income - even better, because then that counts as 5 out of 5. It only counts against if he had to file but didn't, so if he filed or if he wasn't required to file for a particular year, that year still counts.)
