Hi, I departed my home country on 13th July 2022 (passport stamped), and landed Canada on 14 July 2022 (passport stamped) prior to close to midnight. While immigration was done it was past midnight and now it was 15th July 2022, so my COPR has 15th July 2022 as the date since I became PR.

Now for address history fillout during my citizenship application, since it is asking for past 5 years, how should I fill the 1 day gap that was during the flight (14th July 2022), while I was neither in my home country, nor I was a PR in Canada, since for both dates passport is stamped.

I see that the citizenship form doesnt let me leave out the 1 day, it only lets me move ahead if I dont leave any gaps. So either I have to say I was in my home country address or in Canada address on 14th July, both of which aren't true!

Days that you were not in Canada (before the passport stamping) are days outside of Canada. It's overthinking to believe you must account separately for the time in between. Just put your departure date from home country as July 14.

What AI told me is "this is address history" not professional history NOT "what you were doing" so your address changed on 15th before 15th your address was your home country address. Till 14th your address was your home country address (you have no option to give that you were 40k feet above flying over bla bla country for one day 24 hours) up to 14th you can show your home country address, and on and after 15th Canada address. I see no other solution, if you leave one day gap, the system will automatically red flag, IRRC officer will have a look on travel history and can make judgement that you left county on 13th and landed on 15th in mean time you have no entry exit stamp of any country. Worst come worst if you get further explanation or interview it will be to easy to explain, you can say that my contact address was home country till I established my address in Canada. Disclaimer: not a professional advice, just thinking process to help out forum members.
 
Hi, I realize that the 'became PR on' date on my COPR is July 13th while 'PR Since' Date on PR Card is July 14th. This is since I had landed close to midnight and got my landing process completed after midnight as mentioned before. Which one should I put in Date you became a permanent resident section of my citizenship application? Is there somewhere online where I can see which date is stored in the database?

It's probably the one on the PR card as that info would be taken direct from the database. If you have to use it elsewhere, that's what i'd use just in case, add a letter of explanation if you think it's an issue.
