I just mailed in my application but realized that I recorded a 1 day absence as in 2015 instead of 2014. It was a business trip to the U.S. Should I mail in a revised physical presence calculator or notify IRCC in some way? I have 1160 physical presence days so I have a decent buffer.

Still haven't received AOR.
After you have received AOR, you can inform IRCC about this error, referencing your application # and UCI, using web forms.

This would be more effective than contacting them before AOR receipt.

Quick question for you guys, I need some clarity on 10b requirement in the citizenship application form.
PCC is needed if you stayed in another country for 183 days or more in past 4years. Here's my situation: My eligibility period is 2012-10-20 to 20-10-2017. I moved to Canada only after I got my PR Aug-2014. So technically I was living in another country for more than 183 days considering my eligibility period.Can I use my PCC which I have taken on 23-04-2014 for my PR application or do I need to apply for a new PCC again?

Yes you would need to apply new PCC for the country you were residing in from 2012-10-20 till Aug 2014..

No, old PCC works if you have not revisited the same country again. But if you visit the same country again for more than 183days then you need to get new PCC.

I have to disagree with this recommendation. The instructions says that "Within the last 4 years, if you spent 183 days or more in another country (other than Canada), you must provide a police certificate."

The Police certificate that @SKC45 has it doesn't even cover the whole period before arriving to Canada as he got it on April 2014 and arrived to Canada on August 2014.

Yes, that was the calculation I based my original response on, and also don't they need originals PCC, which OP might have already submitted during his PR process. Never mind. !
Thanks Canven84 for your support.

If he has already submitted PCC for that period with PR application then I don’t think it will be required to submit PCC for the same period again, but it is better to confirm with CIC.

Taken from the CBSA website:

"When requesting your Travel History Report, you must indicate whether you are seeking your exit information, your entry information, or both. Exit information is limited and will only be included when specifically requested"

Maybe you did not request your exit information?

Cheers!
I did of course request exit information. Again, there are no exit records if you leave Canada by air. Period. That's exactly why it says that "Exit information is limited". They want to introduce them.

I am not sure where you took the last two points from but I can guarantee you that for permanent residents and other third party citizens who are not Canadian or US citizens the entry/exit data are currently being collected by CBSA. I personally requested my CBSA records for a government-related job and I could see my first departure from Canada which happened back in 2010. Again I still disagree with you. Sorry!
Was your "first departure in 2010" by land or by air? Exit information is - as a I said earlier - collected for land border crossings, but not for air crossings.

Your Exit information is only collected if both of these conditions are met:
- You are not a Canadian or US citizen AND
- You are leaving across the land border

I requested my full entry/exit history and it included
- All entries into Canada, no matter if land or air
- Only the land border exits
- None of my air exits of which there are about 15 in the three years for which I requested the travel history.
