Urgent: Submitted the wrong Physical Presence Calculation

[Abhiprabhu]

Hi all, I uploaded the wrong physical presence calculation by mistake while submitting the citizenship application online. I had made a correction to my calculation but that did not get saved and I uploaded the file without an absence. It was a significant absence but including it on my file now does not change my eligibility in any ways (I have enough days). I received my AOR recently and immediately submitted the revised and correct calculation online via the CIC portal. Explaining that I uploaded the wrong

I had also not uploaded my US B1B2 visa (I misunderstood and only uploaded my passports) and submitted this change via The CIC portal as well.

I am a little concerned given the two errors. Is there any merit to withdrawing my application and resubmit?
Or should I wait to hear back from the citizenship office and proceed accordingly?

Did you communicate the mistakes clearly when you uploaded the updated documents? It's anyone's guess whether withdrawing is beneficial or not, but a withdrawal at this point might only cause more confusion.

I'd also go through the entire application once again to make sure there are no more errors.

I'd also start gathering additional documents/evidence typically requested in an RQ.

RQ Lite: This is the shorter of the two RQs: https://residencequestionnaire.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/cit_520-e.pdf
(Not sure if this is the latest version.)

It seems extremely rare for the long form to be issued these days but not 100% on that.

Also, you might want to gather all the boarding passes, flight ticket receipts, credit card receipts, toll receipts etc. for your travels during the eligibility period.

You don't have to decide on my opinion alone. Hopefully others will chime in with their experience.

You can also search the forum for historic data on people that corrected errors in their physical presence data and see if/how it affected the processing of their application.

In any case, keep calm and don't have to worry too much. Just be sure to double check all the info in future before submitting to IRCC. Good luck!

HI @iceman55 , I also spoke to an IRCC agent today. The agent mentioned sending the correct calculation was the right thing to do and also mentioned that it may not cause delays as she mentioned that the case officer will just replace the calculation as it won't have any impact on my eligibility. She did say i might get asked about it at the interview. She said best submit any corrections now rather than at the later stages.
