For year 2011, I think your physical presence calculator should show as zero. This is due to long absence from Canada in year 2011 after landing given that it does not come in last 4 years of 6.

The calculation is correct, the requirement is to be physically present in Canada for at least 1460 days in the six (6) years immediately before you apply, 4 days that I spent in Canada in 2011 falls within 6 years of the application date.

What I meant was that you can't count it towards total physical presence days. Year 2011 for you is not meeting 183 days of year criteria and not eligible as one of 4 years out of last six years. You are better to show it as zero and still have enough buffer over 1460 days anyway.
I suggest this due to 12 days presence in year 2012. That means, there is long gap between year 2011 and 2012 and 4 days in year 2011 is better not shown in calculation.

Seniors in forum may suggest you better.

Seniors in forum may suggest may suggest as second opinion.
I got your point. I'm counting 1460 days from 2013 when I moved permanently and I'm leaving the days I spent in 2011 and 2012 as buffer.

Since you have printed the residency calculator, and its showed you you are eligible to apply for citizenship, then go for it and apply especially you kept a buffer of almost a month more than the required 1460 days.

Received US travel history from CBP, All the entries and exits were recorded correctly. Only thing is there were 2 outbound entries recorded for some reason on 1/30/2013 and 1/31/2013. I actually exited from US on 1/30/2013 but dropped the I-94 with the Airlines counter while boarding the flight. I'm thinking CBP might have entered the outbound record on 1/31/2013 based on I-94. Anyone had similar issue ?

I'm still waiting for Canadian entry/exit records from CBSA.
