If you're going to start a new thread it's nicer to people if you give it a useful title, so people know what the topic of the thread will be.

Some of the topics you're asking about have recently been answered, so searching the forum with keywords ("physical presence calculator", "employment history", "9c" or "CIT0177") can help you find those more extensive answers and discussions.

Anyway,

0. It is highly recommended to not apply as soon as you have reached 1095 days of physical presence (a recommendation from both IRCC and most people on this forum) but to wait a few weeks before you apply. That margin will ensure that a forgotten short trip or miscalculation won't render your application invalid.

1. The physical presence calculator asks a series of questions about your landing date and status before that date. In the calculator you are expected to include all absences from Canada while you had status as either a temporary or permanent resident. If you were neither, then that time period is not relevant for the calculation of physical presence, so if you were not in Canada as a temporary resident before March 2015 then no date before March 2015 should be listed in your absences from Canada.

Check the FAQ for the online calculator, or the form CIT0407 and its instructions if you're uncertain what exactly they're looking for.

2. Needs to cover the entire eligibility period, i.e. 5 years before the day you apply, so including the time before you became a PR.

3. Yes. Enter "N/A" for the two categories, sign and date the form. Add a letter explaining you lived outside of Canada, but were not a crown servant (or the spouse of a crown servant). This is an error in the form, really, so until it gets fixed including the form (while marking it as inapplicable) ensures that your application will not be returned for being incomplete or incorrect.
