Can I post application whilst puting a later date on it?

[Goldline]

I am going to apply for my wife. She'll meet her 1095 days requirement in few days. I checked with Canada Post....it takes 3 working days for application to reach at Citizenship Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The scenario is ......i.e.
My wife will complete her 1095 days on Monday 07 April. If I post on Monday or Tuesday April 08, her application will be received at Nova Scotia office on either Thursday/Friday 11th April ......or ...perhaps....Monday 14th April, in case of possible delay.

My question is.... if I put 7th April on her "application form"/"online residence calculator" whilst posting it on 3rd April (Thursday), would it make any difference? DO they check when was the application posted?

Very importantly, her application will still be received at Nova Scotia office on 8th April or later. (since, it takes 3 working days, therefore the application will be received no earlier than 8th April)

Can they make a big deal out of it?


Would it be considered as a lie?

This is the official answer to your question taken from CIC website:
Section 10

Question 10
Sign and date the application form with the signature you currently use on other official documents.

Note. Your application will be returned to you if:
•the form is not signed and dated,
•stale-dated (dated more than 90 days before CIC receives it),
•post-dated (dated into the future).

Note: You must be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship the day before you sign the application form.

whats a rush ? please wait passed 1100 mark after being honest and then apply ,, you waited for such a long time , adding five more days would not hurt at all - my friend --please do not cheat a system - i am sure they will find it out and if they did give you lot of trouble for it..

waiting a few extra days is always a good idea. It has helped me and it could have helped this unfortunate application in the thread below:

Dear friend,
How do you say that?
Where do you find this information?
How much difference is there between 1095 and 1100? Do you believe these 5 days will prove your strong tie and connection to Canada? If you believe in it , why not to submit in 1200 or 1300 or 1400 days of physical presence? The more is better , right?

CIC scrutinize deeply if someone applying under 1100days,i know some of my friends they rushed to apply just after 1095 days and got so much delayed in process,one of my friend went for Judge hearing and Judge told him that you looks like in rush to get citizenship may be you are planning to go back home permanently after citizenship also the brighter chances to get RQ too,but choice is yours.
