Can someone please help me with this confusion. Sorry but would really appreciate the clarification.

Thank you, but just to clarify:

  • Date on physical presence is 29th Oct 2018
  • Date to sign with on physical presence print out is 29th Oct 2018
  • Date to sign on application is 29th Oct 2018
Eligibility period is 29th Oct 2013 to 29th Oct 2018 ?

Is this correct? Because I read on the website and some other threads, date to sign should be day after the end of eligibility period. So in my case 30th Oct 2018? My point being right now for me this what the physical presence calculator is showing:

Eligibility period: 29th Oct 2013 to 29th Oct 2018
Application date : 29th Oct 2018.

So what should I put in the application form as the eligibility period? Same as what I see on physical presence?
And what date to sign for application and physical presence.

Apologies for the long post, but just want to be sure.

Thanks a lot

You should be eligible to apply on the end date of your eligibility period. I have not seen any rule that states that you should sign a day after your eligibility period. Perhaps fellow PRs applying for Canadian citizenship can chime in?

I sugged heading over to the October 2017 applicants thread and comparing your timeline to other applicants. Some applications take longer to process than others, that's just the nature of the beast. Be patient!
