You can only count days 5 yrs back from the day you want to consider. If the date you want to consider is 11th Oct 2017, you can only count days 5 yrs back from that date, which is 12th Oct 2012. You cannot use any days in Canada before that date; therefore, the time you spent in Canada under a...

My buffer is 350 days on Oct 11th. Way to go C-24!

It is pretty simple. Being eligible the day before the date you put down on your application translates to "you can date your application with a date equivalent to the day after day 1095". If Oct 11th is your day 1095, you need to wait one more day.

I get it, I get it, no need to get aggressive, it was a misinterpretation on my part.

It all depends on the date you will submit your application. It is recommended to keep your passport up-to-date, so there is no questioning from IRCC as to why you have a gap in passports. If your passport expires after you submit your application I do not see how that affects your application...

Exits are not recorded. If you never departed, then you never came back. Passing security does not mean you left Canada - even boarding the plane does not mean you left Canada; only when the plane takes off and lands outside of Canada it counts as if you left Canada. Does your CBSA record show...

It is 183 days in a single year. For example, for 2016, if between 1-Jan-2016 and 31-Dec-2016 you stayed 183 or more days in one country, then you will need a police certificate. If you stayed 90 in X country and 95 in Y country between 1-Jan-2016 and 31-Dec-2016 you do not need police...

Absolutely, I totally agree, but my post was looking for opinions on what should be used on either scenario for lack of better direction from CIC. You appear to suggest to ignore immigration records and use reservation records, plus you add that we all should add buffers. We may all add buffers...

Thanks. Anyone submitting a citizenship application should have a copy of their travel itinerary documents. It seems you are suggesting to have a buffer for every day one cannot accurately calculate (due to not knowing how to deal with either scenario) and to disagree with, or at least ignore...

That's a really good point. Those that by far exceed the 1095 days due to the rule change may not be questioned too much about their time calculation when the margin of accuracy is large. People who would have had their 1460 days in November, for example, would have well over the 1095 days...

I was wondering if anyone has experienced any of the following scenarios when calculating physical presence. The guidelines say that being present in Canada on the day one leaves or arrives counts as a day in Canada. However, how do we effectively determine what it means to be "in Canada"? I'll...

People only LAND once as PR's (unless they become PR's more than once). I am going to assume you landed in 2014 (and stayed for 3 months) and returned in 2015 (and again, stayed for 3 months). Technically, you could have filed taxes in 2014 and 2015. You were a PR with a bank account, and you...

Although transit countries may stamp your passport, I would enter the first destination you were staying at. For example, if you traveled to Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic in one trip and in that order, I would put Hungary in the destination field. I would not mind about typing the...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/language.asp If you have, send a copy of proof that you completed a program with your citizenship application. Proof can be your: diploma transcript certificate A certificate is good enough.

You will not get Canadian citizenship in a few months. I am not sure why you applied at all, but perhaps you didn't know about your father's illness. I would withdraw my application if I were you, at least until your situation is normalized.

Unless you were claiming time spent in Canada before you became a PR, you should only submit information (and documents) from the date you became a PR. CIC is not going to ignore what you disclose, even when it is not applicable to your relevant period. I learned of someone who applied providing...

It can be done by anyone who speaks the language on the stamp and the language to which is being translated (English or French). A notarized affidavit must be provided by the person who made the translations. So, it can be a friend, but not a family member (there is a list of who is considered a...

The context for requiring current and expired passports and travel documents is not that of identity. The context of that request is to have support for the time spent in Canada (by using the document info to verify against border control systems). Therefore, for the context of travel support...

I understand that; however, while the intend to reside was effective during the entire application period, until granting of citizenship, if granted, you are still not free from the effects of what happens during the entire time your application was being processed: the intend may have remained...

Actually, you in your quest to make a point has failed only due to the fact that you have speculated on what I've said. You have twisted my statements. My statement, in a nutshell, was that I would have to, like many others, wait longer times because twice as many application will come in due to...
