Hi

i am little confused and need guidance on how to proceed with a timeframe where i did not have active visa or permit.

i had my PGWP from 26 Sept 2017 To 25 Sept 2020.
i couldnt apply for BWOP since i didnt have ita so i applied for visitor record on 21 august 2020.

i was approved for visitor record from 18 March 2021 to 18 April 2021, and then i was also approved for work permit extension for 19 April 2021. received my ITA on 12 Feb 2021, finally got my PR on 26 august 2021

so heres my question since i am eligible for citizenship in few days what should i enter for the time period 26 sept 2020 to 18 march 2021 because in this period i didnt have any approval for visitor record? should i not enter anything for this period at all in physical presence or should i enter it as visitor as i applied for visitor record before my PGWP got expired?

I would suggest you to wait couple more months and then cover that period and apply. It’s little bit tricky situation for implied or maintained status.

Thanks, thats what i was thinking, would you know what status would i select to enter that time period in calculator because implied or out of status isnt an option.

I think you still have enough temporary days on your PGWP from 2017 to 2020 to give you enough credit for 365 days in your eligibility period.
