Hi guys, I think I stumbled upon a very critical bug in the online days calculator for citizenship.
Can anyone here confirm?
There are 3 dates in it, landed date, PR date and application date.
Days before the PR give you 1/2 eligible day, and days after PR give you a full eligible day, correct?
So, if you travel 6 days during the period before the PR, the online calculator deducts 6 days from the calculation, but these days only equal to 1/2 a day, so it should deduct only 3 days.
I can see in my calculation that any trip before the PR was deducted in full, and not half.
I'm wondering, am I correct? Can anyone look at their calculations and see if the same bug appears in yours as well?
Why is it super critical for me? I submitted (foolishly) the application with only 1 day to spare, I met with the judge yesterday and she found a trip of a few days that I forgot to include (I travel a lot to conferences as a speaker).
She told me I seem to be missing a few days (3-4, not more) and since I don't have any to spare she will have to reject my application and have me re-submit a new one.
I told her that calculation error and she was willing to look into it and credit me the half days if she find they were miscalculated, which will give me about 30 extra days (had about 60 days of travel before PR).
As a side note I will probably hire a lawyer to appeal if I get rejected over a few days, especially since the calculation we submitted was for April but we only paid/submitted our application on July, we just didn't know we should send an updated calculation form.
Thanks, I do hope this is a bug and they will correct it for me, and later fix it in the online calculator as well. Until then - FYI.
