True, don't forget to practice O Canada... I didn't practice, and I looked like lost during singing of national anthem... Listen to it on YouTube, make sure you don't listen to the Nelly Furtado version.

Hi all,

I have my citizenship test tomorrow and there's one thing I'm worried about.

Been checking over my travel list that I submitted with my application and have found that one of my trips was off by 1 day (left a day sooner than was listed). This is a total error and I have the boarding pass to prove the correct dates.

What should I do? Anyone had a similar experience?

In any case, you must tell it to the CO during the interview.

If you're still above the 1095 days of physical presence, there will be no problem.
If you become short in physical presence, there is chances you'll be handed a RQ. Fill it and return it with all the pertinent information. In the RQ, specify that you're indeed short by X days and that's due to a legitimate error from you.

The important thing in theses cases is to keep the credibility!

I know it because I'm in the same case, before the test I found that I was short by 5 days, I told it to the CO during the interview, returned the RQ filled with all the documents and my status is now at the "Decision made" state.

Good luck ! :)

Eek! I'm scared now :eek:

Even with the 1 day error I should have more than enough days for physical presence. Do you think I'll get RQ'd?

If does!..why my application return for the 2nd time? It said on their letter ..."The passport or travel document provided do not cover the 6 year period preceding the date of my application..." I submit my old and new passport biological page and the pages with stamp of my old passport.".. I don't understand why?...
Thanks for responding..

Do you have a gap between your passports? Like a period where you had an expired passport before having the new one.
If yes, you need to add a letter to your application to explain why.
