Time spent outside of Canada on behalf of Canadian employer-- Citizenship.
Hello, I am a PR in Canada, I will complete my 3 years in Sept this year. I visited USA four times (each visit was for a week) in past 2 years and each trip was for business purpose i.e. on behalf of my Canadian employer. Should I exclude those days in my citizenship application, can someone refer to any official link on this.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi
They don't count, only days abroad that count towards Citizenship are if you are in the employ of the military, Provincial or Federal Civil Service.
Section 5.1 of the Act
Section 5(1.1) applies only where the Canadian citizen spouse is working with the public service of Canada or a province or for the Canadian armed forces.
