Hello there, my eligibility period is 2012 Oct to 2017 Oct. I landed as PR in 2014 May and before that I have been in my home country.
From what I understood from this forum is, I have to tick No and write an explanation. However in the calculator the last question, during your eligible period have you been out of Canada, if I say no its like am lying and if I say yes I have to say when I left and when have I returned. On the other hand, how can I leave Canada if I didnt even enter it before becoming a PR? What should I write?
Also, during the entire eligibility period I have been a homemaker till now, so for question 11, I ticked unemployed, homemaker, but can I write not applicable for enter the details of employment and education history ?
Thank you

My spouse was also unemployed for certain period during the eligibility period. What should she write for Name of Contact, phone number, email address?
 
Contact is the person the applicant is with during the homemaker, unemployed period.
Where you where living, person your with contact information like mobile and email.

The agent processing your application would confirm to himself things written and declared tallies.

Not sure if I understand your reply. Whose contact should my spouse should give if she is unemployed and sitting at home in search of a job?

Hey man, your spouse is living in your home and with you right?

So, address is where she is living during unemployment period. Since she lives with you, you can attest that is true if the agent decided to confirm this declaration.

Its the same confirmatory procedure with employment declarations.

I did not call CIC and talk to an agent. So I am not sure if I can put my name and contact details :(

I read here that someone asked cic that question and were told N/A

There are also resources you can use on cic website like how to fill up application, and on the form itself that says “help”.
 
Either have your spouse write NA on question 11, or put you your address and contact info.

Either way, those 2 are the only rationale answers if you are unemployed or homemaker.
