October 2016 - Citizenship Applicants

[samirmdn]

Hi I have question regarding the dates counted in the physical calculator, which date you put in and which date you in the application table.

For example I leave Canada on 4th Dec 2015 but the country I reach stamped on my passport on 5th Dec 2015. Which date to put in the calculator 4th or 5th? Another example if my date of entry in CBSA border says 28th Feb 2016 and the date stamped of the country (DUBAI) I left is 27th Feb 2016. This is because flight time and duration and time diffence.

Which date to consider as the date , date my entry to Canada or my stamped date on the passport ? Yes

I would say put the dates that you left Canada (Dec 4, 2015) and entered Canada (Feb 28,2016), since CBSA would most definitely have those records with them, even if they didn't stamp your passport (especially for departures, in my case). While doing my own calculation, I double checked my itineraries/e-tickets to confirm my exact dates of departure/arrival from/to Canada to be on the safe side.

Also, ali393's idea of keeping a few extra days as a buffer is a good idea, just in case the person reviewing your application makes any adjustments to the number of days after cross-checking your application with other sources such as CBSA.

Got my AOR emailed to me this morning!

Does this mean that my forms/documents are good to go, and will go through the regular process? Or is there still a chance that my application could be returned to me for incomplete/incorrect information (which I hope won't happen since I believe I've been quite thorough!)?

You should be good. Wait for IP in your eCAS will be the next step.

AOR just means they have received your documents and on preliminary basis you have all the needed documents attached to the file. Once it goes In Process they will verify your documents e.g. information from CBSA to match your Physical Presence in Canada that you attached with your documents, information from CRA etc.

But for the most part they are good to go with your application

They all begin in Sydney and than trickled down to the regional offices. I believe your will be referred to Etobicoke (don't take my word on that as there are few IRCC Offices in and around GTA).

My First Post

Canada Post delivered my application to Sydney Oct 28 (today) !

Hopefully, the process that should have started one year ago (before Mr. Harper's party's law) can finally get launched !!
