Hello,
I will sign my application today January 22, 2023. My eligiblity period on the physical presence form is from January 22 2018 to January 21 2023. However, on the main application form for one of the questions when I put (to Date Jan 21 2023) The (from date) is set by the citizenship form to be from Jan 21 2023 and to January 21, 2023. Please advice
Thanks

I just had this question myself, from what I've read there will always be a 1 day discrepancy between the calculator and the application. Application bases it off 1 day before the date you sign it

explains it a bit more nicely
Thanks for the reply. Very helpful. I have a question. On the check list form, it says we provide a signed copy of physical presence form, but there is no signature on the physical presence form

I just signed and dated in the white space below after printing it out just to be safe, but you dont need to. From the official website

"You don’t have to sign or date your physical presence calculation (your printout of the Online Physical Presence Calculator or form CIT 0407). "
Thanks for your reply. One last question. I printed out physical presence form yesterday Jan 21 but I put on physical presence form the date I will sign application is Jan 22. I also signed main application today Jan 22. However, I noticed at the top of physical presence form that the physical presence form is printed out on Jan 21. Is this an issue. Do we also need to print out physical presence form on the same date we sign main application?
Thanks
