Oh, I understand now. If you were not present in Canada prior to landing as a PR, then no need to enter absence prior to becoming PR.
I understand that pre-PR entries are for those who were present in Canada on some temporary basis prior to landing as a PR (tourist visa, student visa, temporary worker visa, protected status, etc).
I have been entering absences since 5am this morning. Very slow going.
Need to reload the page most of the time and re-enter an abscent 2, 3 times even more but eventually works.
I took the week off from work anticipating this possibility.
Will just keep working on it until finished. Almost done with the calc.
After 8 hours non-stop, I have my other family members finished.
Now to my own calcs. I stuck at the question that asks if I have been in prison. I resubmitted 'no' more than a dozen times before it times out and I have to re-enter 'no'.
I don't know how much longer I can hold out before I will have to answer 'yes' to this question.

OWP = Open Work Permit ... thus you had Worker status from the date when your Work Permit was issued until the day before it was replaced by whatever replaced it (PR or another WP).
Whether you were in Canada or abroad during the time you were a Worker is a different question and completely unrelated to your immigration status, though.

12 hours later. all 4 family members done. Oy.
Now to tackle this application print issue. I can't print the pdf I just pulled off the IRCC forms page.
