Hello All,
I submitted my Citizenship application in February 15th, 2012 and CIC received my application in February 23rd, 2012. In January 14th, 2013, I received citizenship test notice.
The test is scheduled for next Tuesday. However, when I prepared for the documentation for the citizenship test, I found I made one big mistake in the Residence Calculator sheet I sent to them in my original citizenship application.
My application date should be 2012-02-15, which is the date I paid the application fee and signed my application form. However, I mistakenly put ‘2011-02-15’ (one year before my real application date) in the ‘application date’ column when I filled the online Residence Calculator. This careless error resulted in my physical presence (days) is not sufficient for the required 1095 days in the Residence Calculator sheet I originally submitted.
Arrival date: 2004-08-10
Permanent residence date: 2009-02-08
Application date: 2011-02-15 <-----[Should be 2012-02-15]
Basic residence (days): 1099
Time spent serving a sentence (days): 0
Days absent: 47.5
Physical presence (days): 1051 <-----[do not meet and I did not notice it and used this wrong sheet to submit my application]
After I use the correct application date 2012-02-15 in the online Residence Calculator with the same ‘Absences from Canada’ date, my real physical presence (days) is 1196 which meets the 1095 days requirement.
Arrival date: 2004-08-10
Permanent residence date: 2009-02-08
Application date: 2012-02-15 <-----[right date]
Basic residence (days): 1281
Time spent serving a sentence (days): 0
Days absent: 85
Physical presence (days): 1196 <-----[meet]
Anyway, at the time I submited my application last year, I even did not know what 'Physical presence' is. I just knew my time is good to apply the citizen and did not pay attention to the outcome in the residence calculator sheet.
I will have the citizenship test next tuesday, what should I do? What's the odds do you think i will face a RQ?
I'm very worried I may face a RQ in the interview, so
option A: call CIC, tell them i made mistake and want to re-submit my residence calculator, ask them to re-process my application and re-schedule the test.
option B: go test anyway and present my new residence calculator sheet to officer right away and ask him/her that i'd likt to re-submit my residence calculator. Will they reconsider a RQ for me (if any).
Thanks in advance for you help!
I'm feeling like kicking my ass now.
Thanks,
Weber
