If you were born on July 12 1990 and for apply EE today, are you 28 or 27? If the points allocation were different for age 28 and 27, would you be awarded points based on age 28 or 27?



If you were born on December 31st 1990 and today is January 1, 2018. How old are you?

You would be 28. Happy birthday...

You are zero in 1990, 1 in 1991, 2 in 1992... See where this is going?

It is universal the same, unless you count the time you are in the womb.
Anyway, I guess your confusion is because they are using UTC time. So, yes, they are using UTC time and everything is calculated using UTC time.

So they consider only the year? If you were born on December 31st 1990 and today is January 1, 2018. How old are you?

You are 27 as your 27th birthday was on December 31st 2017. You would be 28 on December 31st 2018. You need to be accurate down to the exact date, not just the year, or even the month.

What universe you are coming from? I'm starting to think that you are making fun of us.

LOL cannot stop laughing...
Ikr. Just like the way our Earth people ignore the hours out of the equation. May be in another universe where people actually live for million years. There is no point of counting anything smaller than year actually or maybe even decade. I think we might have the very first extraterrestrial resident coming to Canada. LOL
