Hi all future Canadians


I would be most most grateful if you could help me with this question. as apparently its somthing they changed recently in the citizenship application.

I was trying to finish my citizenship application (paper based) today and I was surprised with this puzzling issue:

When i'm filling the online physical calculator it ask me to enter the date i'm going to sign the application . So when i enter the date as 21st May 2021 the eligibility period in the calculator shows as as 21th May 2016 - 20th May 2021.

But when I Copy the "to date " from the calculator which is the (20th of May 2021) into the Citizenship application it shows the eligibility period as 20th May 2016 - 20th May 2021!!!!!!!

There is a one day difference between the two eligibility periods!!

Calculator is showing 21st of May 2016 - 20th May 2021 vs Application showing 20th May 2016- 20th May 2021

could you please explain if I'm doing something wrong? i'm really going crazy trying to figure this out. There must be something wrong

thank you
Yes, you will sign the application 1 day after you became eligible, to match the calculator sign the application on May 22nd instead of the 21st.

No AOR reported yet but two applications returned. Seems people have not reported change in status.
 
AORs are being sent for applications in the week of March 15. So ours shouldn't be too far away.
