Out of status confusion

[yyzstudent]

Hey all
I’m closing in on eligibility to apply for citizenship. I’ve been physically present since mid 2013. PR for the past two years. For roughly 2 months in the past 5 years I was here out of status, between a PGWP and a closed work permit.

My understanding is that my time out of status do not count. As others have noticed, there is no option to fill in out of status days in the counter. Do I need to wait 2 months before applying or are my days enough?

Responses greatly appreciated.

You were not out of status. Your status was maintained since you filed to extend your stay by applying for WP. Refer the rule here

I was out of status until the LMIA came through.

I got through to CIC and out of status doesn’t count. My time prior to that and prior to PR does count and gives me a full year.

Here we go. Gathering documentations

I misunderstood then. Good to know that it has been sorted.
