I am a PR and I am living in Canada, I applied for citizenship on 2011. I didn't have access to my old passport and I just guessed the exit and entry days. The day I went for the test I was informed my expired passport is required and I asked my parents to sent it for me and It was when I released there are some dates that are not mach with my citizenship application (I was short for 50 days) but I submitted the passport anyway. Then they asked me to submit RQ which I did (there was no problem since I am living in Canada and I have a job). I didn't take this as an important issue since recently that I find out submitting wrong document is a serious crime, Please let me know if you know someone in the same situation. Is there anyway they deport me from Canada because of this intentional mistake? What can I do now I am so devastated.

Your application will just be refused if the strict 1095 physical days residence criteria is applied and you will have to submit a fresh application when you get the correct number of days. The Citizenship Act is not as strict with misrepresentation as the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act...had you done the same with a PR Card renewal then you may have had a far worse experience.
