For all who Landed as PR (LESS than 5 years ago)

[Whocares]

9c, have your lived out Canada last 5 years!

Yes. I selected no. If you checked yes then you will have to submit CIT 0177, and actually the officer will see this condition because it's gonna be printed out.

Of course you tick no. Yes isfor crown service.

The right answer at least in my case is YES because I lived around 18 months in my country, the issue with the required form when you answer yes that's not applicable to 99% of the applicants.

Yes. I selected no. If you checked yes then you will have to submit CIT 0177, and actually the officer will see this condition because it's gonna be printed out.

We have discussing this question since that new application released. They could make it easier for them and us, but who cares

Guys:
I think the for people who was never a TR and became a PR less than 5 years ago, the eligibility period is a glitch and wrong which is why question 9c and 10a become a issue. for example below is my wife physical presence calculator data. If the eligibility period is 5 years, then how come the days within eligibility only counts after she became a PR.

Shouldn't it could 1825??


Your eligibility period is 2012-10-14 to 2017-10-14, you will need this for your application form.

I think the answer for 9c is NO. and you do not need to explain it
The Question is tricky but instruction guide is clear. They want to know if, while you were in Canada you were serving the Crown abroad so you actually count the days you were outside Canada. Rather then if you were just traveling you cannot. (my humble opinion)

There are very rare circumstances that will let you count time outside of Canada towards your physical presence calculation. If you resided outside of Canada because either:

• you
• your Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse or common law partner
• permanent resident parent

was employed outside Canada (not as a locally engaged person) in or with:

• the Canadian Armed Forces
• the federal public administration
• the public service of a province or territory
