There shouldn't be any errors with the online calculator. Is your father claiming any pre PR time toward citizenship? How did he get PR?

through refugee statud

Are you counting pre PR time? If so, how much pre PR time are you counting towards citizenship? You can only count from the time your father because a protected person.

Yes, you'll need to apply by paper.

i think the issue is refugee time... they got accepted in 2021 as refugee. then the next year got pr in 2022. the year between refugee and pr the days only count as half a day. so they are less than 3 years in canada with status so probably can apply later this year or next year

february 2021 he got approved

i believe the calculator is correct. you dont have enough time. one day as a refugee is only counted as half a day. the year as refugee is only counts for 182.5 days not 365 days a whole year.

but it says you are eligible when i put info should i submit paper application

but it says you are eligible when i put info should i submit paper application

I dont know how you filled in calculator but your father is not eligible for Citizenship yet.... Since you did not include months, i can assume he will be eligible end of year..fast forward another 6months

 

[Yuki.03]

but it says you are eligible when i put info should i submit paper application

if the info is fine and the same. both calculators should say it is good. you can do paper but like said before u have risk of your application being denied/return due to lack of days. but without the actual months to match years you told us. it seems more like what the online app said you don't have enough days which if you don't ircc will deny the app

 

[Yuki.03]

your time line is june/july 2019 to now june/july 2024.. thats is the 5 year window.. your father made his claim in 2018 got approved 2021.

2021 coventional refugee -2022 PR less than a year maybe 6 months maybe less is being counted to the 3 year (1095 days)
2022-2024 maybe 2 years....

you need 3 years as PR OR Minimum 2 YEARS as PR with 1 year worth of refugee days (2 years in total as 1 refugee day only only count as half a day). And your dad wasn't a refugee for 2 year it was 1. clearly you do not have the 1095 days needed to apply .

but even without the accourate months it appears you likely have 2.5 not the 3 years, give and take couple months.

You are right. I misread the dates.
