depart Canada; March 23, 2015 to March 23, 2016 is back date to Canada
eligible for citizenship under new rule on : May 01, 2017

but I as per rule I am not fulfilling the 183 days duration during my current visit (March 23, 2015 to March 23, 2016). my question is that be I eligible on May 01, 2017????/

The 183 days in a calendar year for four years can be any of the four years within the relevant six years.

My reading of your query is that you are going to be outside of Canada for most of 2015 and return in March 2016.

If you have been present in Canada for more than six months in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and return in time to be present for at least six months in 2016, that would meet the 183 X 4 requirement as of whenever in 2016 you have been in Canada 183 days that year, that is for 2016, and you would continue to meet this requirement until an application date up to May of 2018 at the least (possibly up to late June if you did not leave Canada at all between June and the end of the year in 2012).

Of course you still need to also have 1460 days of actual presence in Canada during the relevant six years, which apparently you will not until some time in 2017.
