My question is this:

I have been in Canada since 2005 in various capacities such as student, work permit etc

I received my PR in September 2019

The 5 years prior to that I was on a visitor permit while being married to a Canadian citizen

I am trying to see if I am eligible to apply for my citizenship right now

I used the Physical Presence Calculator online and it gives me the following information:

Total Calendar Days: 1079

Total Days: #539.5

Total Physical Presence: 1,112

Based on the results shown, am I eligible to apply for my citizenship or do I have to wait?

If you sign your application on September 21, 2021 (given that you became PR on or before Sept 21st):

1. From Sept 21, 2016, to Sept 21, 2019, you lived in Canada for at least 730 days.
2. From Sept 21, 2019, to Sept 21, 2021, you lived in Canada for at least 730 days.

If both requirements are met, you're good.

People can correct me if I'm wrong.
