If you have less than 1095 days in Canada because of absences outside of Canada you may still apply for citizenship. It will be up to a judge to determine if those absences affect your application. There is no refund of the processing fee if your application is not approved because you do not meet the residence requirement.
The Citizenship Act requires a person to have accumulated 3 years (1095 days) in the past 4 years on the day before the application. Only a citizenship judge may determine if you meet the residence requirement if you do not have this many days.
