I had mailed my citizenship application in October, I had attached the output of Physical Presence Calculator with my application but forgot to sign and date the application (my fault).

My application along with all the attachments was returned to me yesterday,

They have simply asked (in Annex A mentioned below) me to resubmit the completed application form submitted in October. This looks simple, I simply need to sign "Physical Presence Calculator" and date it and submit October forms again.

Now I have below confusion

The Form "Physical Presence Calculator" says "Please make sure that the date of application used in this calculation and the date of signature on the application form and on this page are the same." But I am signing this "Physical Presence Calculator" today, so what date should I mention.

Option 1)
I think I should not sign it back dated, as it is not true.

Option 2)
If I sign it as 26th Nov then it is not matching CIT-0002

Option 3)
I submit a new application, it will be good (as all the dates confusions is gone) but I think it wont work as the application that they returned is already stamped as received. Also they had not asked to submit a new one, they sent me the old ones back may be because they want me to return the old ones.

Below is the Annex-A that I received from them (its a standard letter they sent to all return applicants)

Annex A

Please choose among the following two options

1. submitting a complete application Please check on the statement below, sign, date and return this Annex A and your application to the mailing address indicated below.

If you choose Option 1, your application package will first be reviewed to ensure it is complete. If your application package is still incomplete, it
will not be processed and be returned to you with the proof of payment. I wish to resubmit an application for a grant of citizenship. I have included:

* the completed application form submitted in October 2017or a later version of the application form (as indicated in the lower left corner of the form)
* the required documents based on teh Document Checklist of the form for a grant of citizenship (CIT-0002)
* the proof of payment

2. Requesting a refund

You may also update both CIT0002 and presence calculator to account for the days spent since you sent your application, and sign them both again.
You can add an explanation letter to tell CIC what you did.

Good luck ! :)

in this order -
best, option 3
still close to best (as you are well within 90 days of 1st application date), then option 1
worst will be option 2, then it be returned again. o_O

Just for the record of this thread,

I had called the IRCC many times, they never pickup phone.
But after few dozen of attempts a gentlemen picked-up and I explained my scenario to him.
He suggested me to submit the same application and sign the date as of today. (I called him some where early Dec)

But then I told him that this is going to violate "Please make sure that the date of application used in this calculation and the date of signature on the application form and on this page are the same." After this he kept me on hold so that he can verify from a senior.

He came back after few mins and told me the same, that I should sign the Presence calculator with date in Dec, original application dated in October.
May be because my presence calculator shows more than 1500 days

I have received my AOR in Jan. I hope all goes well.

Did you resubmit you application again or was it on the original application.
