Short ans is NO. Only crown servants can use credit for days spent outside

I believe it may count, but it is a complicated, case-by-case scenario (for PR RO, for sure).
@dpenabill has several posts about this!

I know that for meeting PR RO, yes, days accompanying a Canadian citizen could count (but then there's a whole debacle that may come into the picture of who accompanied whom). I assume this also counts towards applying for citizenship, but admittedly, I am unsure of this.

No it does nit count as i stated instruction guide is very clear in regards to credit that can be claimed for residence outside canada is where a spouse accompanied other partner who is servant of crown or armed forces etc

@Zmaqsood has this right. Except for qualified Crown-related-service credit, there is NO accompanying-Canadian-citizen-abroad credit toward the Citizenship presence requirements.

There is such credit toward PR RO compliance (as long as the particular requirements for the credit are met).
