APRIL 2026 Citizenship Applicants – Timeline & Updates Thread

[immg.applicant]

When I was filling out my application, I had to fill out a record of all my trips and it gave me a calculation of number of days within the application. There was no separate form that I had to fill out and attach with the application. So my understanding is that the physical presence calculator is 'built in'. I see it in a pdf of my application I downloaded as well. Did you have to do it differently? Unfortunately I cant attach a snip from my application as this forum interface does not allow it. URLs only.

Yes, you are right about physical presence calculator being built-in to the online application. I checked my application submission as I had downloaded a copy after submission and it does show physical presence calculator in the downloaded copy. So not sure why they asked me to re-submit it. Nevertheless, lets see what happens next. I hope I don't end up waiting another 3 months for AOR.

Hello everyone, I just have question that - some people saying that we should attach our study permit and PGWP in optional documents - as some people's applications returned saying that IRCC cannot confirm /verify their time before PR.

Anybody got AOR without adding those documents. any insights will be helpful.

I submitted on 27 April without these docs as it was not mentioned in any checklist/docs that i have followed.

Congrats!! This is good news, now they are working on April files.

I wanted to ask you if yours' is an online application? If yes, did you had to attach the physical presence calculator under additional/optional documents?

Yes, online. The physical presence calculator is built-in in the online application, you don't need to attach anything when applying online.

Applied April 5, still waiting.
I was asked to resubmit the physical presence calculator last week, so not sure how much longer i'll have to wait for AOR. I hope my file isn't at the back of the queue again.

I'm afraid that means you're at the back in the queue again, if they asked you to resubmit within 60 days..
