Clarification on date to sign

[chakrab]

The CIC specifically mentioned in their website physical residence of at least 1095 days, if this number shows up on your screen you are safe, more is better but this should be ok, if the calculation comes to 1094' this is not acceptable, these people in CIC are very systematic, and this is the minimum number of days, and in fact your eligibility starts the day before 28 June, it starts 27 June and completes by June 27 and any time during June 28 ok for you to apply

CIC also says on the website to sign the document on the day after one is eligble.

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

This is from the CIC website, they always mention if you apply fewer than 1095 days of ohysical presence, the application will be returned but they always say at least 1095

Please read this well, this is from the CIC website, for those who credited themselves, must take that credit away



E. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Q15: What do I do if I want to apply now?

A15: You can print the calculation and attach a copy to your Application for Canadian Citizenship - Adults. If you attach a copy, you do not need to fill in sections 6(A) and 6(B) of the application. Simply check the option 'Online Residence Calculator' in question 6(G). Make sure that the date of application used in this calculation and the date of signature on the application form and on the calculation printout are the same.

Please note that if you apply with fewer than 1,095 days of basic residence, your application will be returned to you by the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia (CPC-Sydney).

If you meet basic residence but it is determined after examination of your court documents that you have fewer than 1,095 days of basic residence less time served, your application will be refused.

If you meet basic residence and/or basic residence less time served but apply with fewer than 1,095 days of physical presence, your application will be referred to a citizenship judge and your application will take longer to process. See Question 8 for more information on applying with fewer than 1,095 days of physical presence.

there won't be any judges next year. so no one knows what's going to happen with such cases. best bet is that they may be returned straight away. why take a chance like that.

The problem if he wait more days the law will pass, in fact the law likely to pass before he apply for his wife

there's difference between law being passed and law coming into force.

Please check my earlier post Desert Lion.

It is highly unlikely that the law will be implemented on the day it is passed.

There is a far greater risk in sending an application that is short of physical presence or incomplete than in the law being implemented tomorrow. An incomplete application will be rejected (but you won't find out for a few months when the CIC finally sends it back) and an application with less than the required full 1095 days will be in for a very long processing time.

I understand the pressure that the uncertain deadline causes, but it's important to weigh the different risks. Doing everything possible to avoid a less likely risk while overlooking a more likely risk is not prudent.
