Hi! I’m a newbie here. I just wanted ask for your help, please

My application for Canadaian citizenship was returned today May 22, 2019 but the cover letter date was May 15, 2019.

If you choose to resubmit a complete application for a grant of citizenship, make sure you include:
•The completed application form submitted on a version of the application form dated October 2017 or later as indicated on the lower left corner of the form
•NOTE: the date of signature on the original application will still be used for physical presence calculations.
•All the required documents based on the checklist of the form for a grant Citizenship (CIT-0002) and
•The proof of payment

Note: if your application was returned for not having the required physical presence in Canada, you must complete a new application form with a new physical presence calsukator printout. The dates on the application form and physical calculator must be the same.

So what's your question? You submitted the application too late. You have to submit it so that it reaches before 90 days from the date you signed the application.

Resubmit a new application, and this time, don't wait so long to submit after you sign it.

Impossible for me to tell you if there are other errors.. you should carefully double check your new application, and if English is your second language maybe you can get a friend to help.

This refusal isn't a big deal, you'll still get citizenship if you qualify, so don't worry about it. Just submit a correct application next time, and get some help if you need it.

No, you don't have to submit a new physical presence calculation, you can use the current one.

Thank you again for your help. I really do appreciate it.
My error was only the date? How about my physical presence calculation?

Just resubmit again. You would need a new physical presence calculation as you would be signing the application in May 2019 now.

Its better you get a new physical presence calculation to match the new application sign in date.

Thank you again and again for the help. Does it mean there’s no error in my presence calculator? I will just copy it? And signed the recent date which is now?
So my only error is the date the I incorrectly signed in the form? Big thanks

I don't think they reviewed your calculations. It's impossible for us to tell if there are other errors, unfortunately.
