Hi. I have a question. As I was filling out for my family PR forms (PR renewal), I notice that I made a mistake on the date of my husband's Date of PR for our Citizenship Application. I put March 6, instead of March 7. What should I do?
Type: Paper Application
Location: Edmonton
Physical Presence Days: 1,808
Application: 3 Members
Application sent: Aug 4, 2022
Delivered: Aug 10, 2022
AOR: Pending
May be wait for either the AOR or the notice that they're returning your application.
AOR is very fast these days - I'm a bit surprised you haven't received AOR after 9 days. If you don't get AOR in another week or 10 days, chances are they will return your application but I'm not entirely sure they'll return your application for this.
If they issue an AOR - which is still likely - since you have much more days than required anyways - then as soon as you it, you can write a detailed explanation and send it both by webform as well as by physical mail to the same "Grants Adults" Sydney address. Include your UCI and the Application number from the AOR.
Typically they take webform requests and add it to your citizenship file so the processing officer will have a chance to look at it. It's preferable to send a physical communication as well since you're from Edmonton. I don't have any personal experience with them but by every single measure they seem to be the worst office in the entire country. So you don't want to get into further delays like two years into the process just because of this.
It's not a matter of eligibility since you're well over the 1095 days its just a matter of notification and making sure in case it gets in the wrong hands they don't use this to delay your application.
Instead of issuing an AOR, if they return the application, of course you can only correct it and resend. Either ways its not a big deal.
In case you get the AOR and then send the webform, after a month or so, just call the helpline and confirm it's added to your file. There's a long history of citizenship files being forgotten and sitting untouched for long periods whenever they have some questions especially about physical presence.
