Hi
I did have the same issue when i was filling my application I called cic and they told me I should count till the month I am signing my application. For example ... I have been living in my current address now since Oct 2010 and I sending my application in Jan 2014, so the number will be 3 years and 3 months.
Put next months date as "END" as sometimes you cannot use wordings like "present" as it would fail verification. If you apply in jan, put feb, by the time they open your package that feb would be current
