During COVID lockdown in 2020, I got my online CoPR on July 31st 2020. So this makes the date I obtained Permanent Residence as July 31st 2020. But I left for my home country on July 28th 2020. (4 days prior)

The CIC Citizenship Online Application’s Physical Presence Calculator checks that one’s Permanent Resident date should be between the dates they are present in Canada. But this was not the case in my scenario as I was physically not in Canada when I got CoPR.

Because of this system limitation, I cannot proceed with my citizenship application, what should I do in this case ?

This issue is going to be coming for many others too if they were a temporary resident before. The online presence calculator will not handle this scenario and will give error. Anyone faced the same scenario please help.

I am summarizing scenario below:

PR Obtained Date (eCOPR came by email): July 31st 2020
Date Left Canada: July 28th 2020
Date Returned Canada: December 28 2020

If you enter the above data, the physical presence calculator will give error.
