Citizenship Timeline

[canadaon]

The CIC website says the following..
You must have resided in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before you apply.

Here my timeline:

I landed in Canada on 16th May 2011 and stayed for 149 days and left Canada. I stayed outside Canada for 358 days.

I came back to Canada on 05th October 2012 and stayed permanently in Canada. Though I had short trips - in total 20 days outside Canada.

When will I be eligible to apply for Citizenship? I have no plans to go out of Canada until applying for citizenship.

Please use the calculator.... it will tell you exactly what your dates are and what you need and when you would qualify assuming no further travel.

Make sure you have 1095 + 10 days buffer for your application.

Good luck.

Assuming you've been a permanent resident the entire time, my estimation is that you'd be eligible on May 29, 2015.

That said, use the calculator on the website. be sure to get your math right and do not apply before it's time! Give yourself at least a month wiggle room, specially if you travel often. Even if they dont look at the application for a year or so, they go by the date on the form so dont apply early!

I submitted my application 47 days too early (made a mistake in the math) and as a result it got delayed nearly four years. I had to wait over 2 years for a citizenship hearing, which got scheduled while i was out of the country so i had to another year for reschedule.

He can't apply on May 29, 2015 he will be short of days, that is only 1082 days.
(at least 1,095 days (three years) in the four years (1,460 days) preceding the date of your application)
you will fall on the new rule 4 out of 6 years residence req.
my guestimate is you can apply on June 1, 2016 (with few days buffer)

Thanks guys!!

I guess pie_Vancouver is right. I missed it by few days!! :'(

I'll miss the right to apply by few days (3days). But all others in my family (wife and kids) will be making it, exactly 1095 days. My questions are the following:

• Is it okay to apply for part of my family? My wife and kids? without me applying
• Is it okay to apply for them with the exact number of days? they will have just 1095 days

1. YES
2. YES but make it sure that it is 1095, 1 day less might reject their application
