If you were still employed while you were on vacation, why would you consider that a gap? Every employment has vacations! That is what i think.

As you were employed by you company during the vacation so its does not matter if it was paid or not. Some companies dont give paid holidays. I dont think you should mention this non-paid leave in your application because you were not unemployed.

Its ok. If you remained employed, then I don't consider it a gap either.

But just wanted to point out that CIC has revised its rules on "continuous" employment:
