Dear all,
Thanks for your replies.
My wife/daughter landed on Oct 16/2010 and went back to place of origin for 2 years and then arrived in Canada in May/12. They lived in Canada until now but in between left Canada for about 3 months. Hence, our calculation indicated that they should have 4 years physical presence in Canada for 4 years in Aug/2016. We therefore decided it is time to apply for citizenship in Aug/2016.

Kindly advise if the timeline is right.

Thanks again.
Use the online calculator to make sure your timeline is fine, you must have stayed in Canada for 183 days at least of any of the 4 years you are applying with. I guess you are fine (if they only left Canada for 3 months in total) but again, use the online calculator.
