I have a question about Q.9a of the citizenship application form. It asks you to put the 'To' date from the online physical presence calculator. My question: Is the To date the 'application date' on the online calculator or is it the last date of the eligibility period?

The online physical presence calculator generated an eligibility period for me based on my information. This eligibility period is From 30.01.16 To 29.01.21. And my application date is 30.01.2021.

However, on the citizenship application Q.9a asks to put the 'To' date from the calculator (i.e. 29.01.21) on a box. When I am entering the To date in the specified box on the form, the form is automatically generating a From Date which is 29.01.16. So according to the form the eligibility period is 29.01.16 - 29.01.21. However, according to the online calculator it's 30.01.16 - 29.01.21. Will this create any confusion?

Can someone tell me what date you put as the To date (Q.9a) on the citizenship application form from the online calculator?
Hello, I'm having the same issue. Kind of confusing with those dates. Has anybody got this answered or clarified? Please, let me know. Thanks!

hello all, I became a PR in 2014 but moved to Canada in 2017. My 5-year window is 2016-2021. What date should I put against "Date you left Canada"? In 2016, I was still abroad. Should I put the start date of the 5 year window (i.e. in 2016) or the date I left Canada after PR landing in 2014?

In this case, try proving the dates as-is (the 2014 date) and see if the physical presence is being correctly calculated. If the physical presence isn't being correctly calculated this way, you can put use the first day of your window as "Date you left Canada" and see if that helps. If you use the latter, providing a letter of explanation and explaining the situation might help IMO.

Thank you. Looks like I will have to use the latter (i.e. "Date you left Canada" date in 2016 and an accompanying note). When I tried 2014, I got a message "An absence you have entered is partially or completely outside the relevant five-year period. Please check that the dates are correct. ".
