Before you mail your package as the receipt should be included.. As far as the correct amount is paid it can be anytime befor mailing.

Anytime, before or after mailing but if you do it after mailing you will not include the receipt in the application.

I didn't write "before mailing", I said "before the Application Date". So if Pay today and mail it a month when the application date is reached, is that ok...?

don't do things outside normal practise as it will create confusion. as soon as you pay fees cic is expecting the application so they can apply that fees in your file. it may happen you are sending your application and same time CIC is refunding your fees since they did not receive any file from you.

I guess they wait for the receipt before wondering on why the balance on their bank account has increased lol

I just gave a safe reply to you as I respect everyone's intend to get citizenship. I pray your journey to be smooth and if you have any doubt on any process just do what your mind says and be always safe side. if it is necessary to pay the fees early then do call CIC and get some guidance.

CIC don't care as long as you have proof of payment included in the application so if you want to pay today June 22, 2014 for an application to be submitted next month or next year its your call.

there is absolutely no issue paying your fees before month. fee voucher don't get expired and they stay as is until you send in your application and receipt. with every online fee payment, you get a unique receipt no which can only be used once you send receipt copy. so no worries pay it if you want to U have my word on it. :)

its better that u use online residence calculator. its very easy and fast and it does not asks you 4 years. just fill it and print it out and you are good to go once you sign it.

This is not an issue at all. I had made the online payment then noticed errors in my residence calculation days due to travel. I applied a whole month after the payment date..no problems whatsoever.
