Does CIC take the date of package receipt as the date of our application? Or will they use the date we signed in the application form? Or , the worst case, they use the date when they open our package and start evaluating?

Jsut for example, if i would sign the application form on Jun 10,2015 and my package would be received on Jun 17, 2015 by CIC . Then the stupid C-24 get effective on Jun 19,2015. It takes the efficient agents of CIC another three months to open my package and start processing, say, on Sep 17, 2015. In this case , my application should still be evaluated under the old law instead of C-24 , right?

I ask bcoz this question may be sensitive to guys like me trying to catch the final bus of the old law. I am suppose to reach 1095 physical days in May 2015. Some guys game me generous help on this already but seems different people have different answers.

Thanks for your patient help again in advance!

You are good if your application gets there before C-24 goes into effect. The signing date is used for the calculation of days of presence (1095 days).
