Dear All,
I am sure most of us here are now due to apply for citizenship.
Do the days from the Approval in Principle count towards the citizenship?
Or is it only from the date of the actual COPR?
What about the time during which we applied for and withdrew the refugee claims?
What do we make of that time?
Will we be considered a work permit during the refugee claimant time?
I am confused as to how to count the days up to the actual PR.

You can only count from the date you became a PR.

Just calculate from COPR day. If you do otherwise by claiming temporary permit using your work permit, they will continue processing till the last stage even after writing test, and u re waiting for ceremony, they will invite you to a meeting and tell you that you were not qualified when you applied. Your time wasted, the money you paid wasted, the reading for test that you already passed wasted. If you re lucky with a good officer, they will ask you to reapply whenever u re qualify
