Citizenship eligibility period - living outside of Canada during this period
Applying for Citizenship and my Eligibility Period is 26/02/2013 to 26/02/2018
(i put a future date for now so i got time to complete my application this month)
In Section 9 it asks me did i ever live outside of Canada during this period. I did return back to the uk between May/2013 - Oct/2014 as it was during this time I was waiting on my CEC to come through.
So i ticked Yes and it asks me to fill in form CIT0177
Looking at this form however the header states:
"RESIDENCE OUTSIDE CANADA for adult citizenship applicants declaring residence outside canada as a crown servant or with a crown servant family member"
Now the time I was in the UK awaiting CEC I am not using it towards my physical presence calculator and I can not see anywhere on this form which applies to me to fill.
Any help?

Hi, I have the same problem now I am filling in the citizenship application. Can you remember what you did in the end - I am tempted to ignore it as, as you say, it is not at all applicable, and in fact I am unable to even fill it in as I am not / have no relationship to a crown service.

Hi Bobby,
I am facing the same problem, how did you complete yours?
I am thinking to write mentioning that CIT0177 does not apply to me because I am neither a crown servant nor a crawn servant family member.

I just ignored it. Didn't even bother to mention that I hadn't filled it in as it was self-explanatory.
