Hi All
I am eligible to apply for Citizenship under the pre -june 2017 ruling and I have the forms filled out using the old forms. I have noticed that the link in citizenship Canada now says that there is a new form dated june 2017 but when I try to download the forms it says something about adobe not being updated.
My question is ..can I send in the old form ?

No, they will reject old form. Please right click on the link and save form to your desktop without opening. After that, open form from your desktop - it will work fine.

Have you saved your calculation earlier? I saved it weeks before I applied and when I logged in on the day of my application, I just retrieved my old calculation, updated my date of application and printed out/signed OK. The calculator changes when the physical presence requirement changes (from 3 years to 4 years etc.).

Just follow the newest link to Calculator and try to retrieve your previous calculation. If it is still there, means it is valid. Also, every webpage shows at the bottom last date changed. Right now I see 2016-10-06 at the bottom so if you did yours after that date, it is still good. You need to put the same date of application on your calculator as on your application form though.

-Applications form is different

-all other requirements looks to be same
