Citizenship Application Question 6G - Addresses

|
I am applying for my citizenship. In the physical presence calculator, my eligibility period is from 2012 to 2017.
I was landed in Canada in 2014 and right now I am meeting my 1095 days to apply for citizenship. Do I need to report all my addresses, trips and tax years before my landing as well?
Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some detailed information in the Application for Canadian citizenship under subsection 5(1) – Adults 18 years of age and older (CIT 0002) Instruction Guide.
Here are some excerpts,
Write all your Canadian addresses for the six (6) years before the date of your application or since you became a permanent resident, whichever is more recent ("the relevant period"), including the postal codes.
If you were residing, employed or attending school outside Canada, you must also list all your foreign addresses, including the postal codes.
and
The relevant period
The relevant period is your residence period (your calculation of time physically present in Canada). This information is used to help make sure you have met the physical presence requirement for Canadian citizenship. The minimum amount of time you need to be in Canada to be eligible for citizenship is 1,460 days within the six years immediately before applying. This means that your relevant period starts a minimum of 1,460 days before you sign your application.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
