Absolutely possible! I've heard about cases where more than a few days were missing from the 1095 prerequisite, and the application was approved by the judge. On the other hand, I heard about cases that were denied even though the 1095 minimum number of days prerequisite was met.
I do not see in the above link anything that points to that fact.. it is the inverse intended to mention that in the lesser case residency is not a factor if one can proof strong ties to Canada.. ex. frequent business trips abroad..
If you meet the 3 years physical residency and it is hard proven (no stamps on passports, employment, etc..) you are deemed to have built ties with Canada and your file will not get channeled to the Judge at all.. there are cases with less solid proofs that get diverted to a Judge and thus might be rejected based on weak grounds proving 3 years physical residency, especially when the applicant leaves the country upon applying for the citizenship.
There are only 6 rules to become Canadian citizen as per the Citizenship act and those are clearly stated on CIC, everything else is simply myth..
1- Be a PR
2- Be present for at least 3 years in the last 4 years before applying
3- Know one of the official languages (English or French)
4- You should learn and know about Canada.
5- Be an adult
6- No serious criminal record (explained further in below link)
7- N/A! unless you get a honorary citizenship
