wrong date in COPR but it would be an issue if old 3 yrs rule come back.

[simoncanada]

hi here is my scenario:


I arrived in Canada October 2013 by work permit

I went to holiday October 2014.

I applied PR November 2014 and my PR has been approved December 2015 and landed immigrant on December 2015.

In my COPR original date of entry October 2014, I think they counted when I was returning from holiday October 2014, but it is wrong.

So my concern is if the old 3yrs citizenship come back I should get credit half of the total days I spend while I was working visa.

But as because my COPR has wrong original date of entry, still can I get one years credit when I will apply my citizenship.

or it doesn't really matter bcz CIC has my records

any answer would be highly appreciated

thanks

Precise content of CoPR varies from version to version. But at the least there should be a separate date stating the date of landing or becoming a PR (however it is stated in the version when you landed).

This is a different date from the original "date of entry" for anyone who had resident status in Canada prior to the date of landing.

Both dates are important. Original date of entry is important for old age security benefits and other retirement related purposes. It will be important again for purposes of citizenship requirements if Bill C-6 is adopted and the credit for time in Canada before being a PR is restored.

And date of landing is important for purposes of when you will be entitled to credit for full days toward citizenship (now or if Bill C-6 is adopted) and, of course, for purposes of calculating compliance with the PR Residency Obligation during your first five years as a PR.

If you go over the whole CoPR I'd bet you find where it shows the date of landing apart from the date of original entry.

Look on your PR card: it probably shows date of landing (apart from date the card was issued, which typically is not the same as the date of landing but weeks if not months later).

I see that the crux of the question is about the accuracy of the date of entry, 2014 versus 2013. My previous response does not address that. Not sure why I focused on date of entry versus date of landing.

If indeed the OP established residence in Canada as of a date in 2013, this is something which should be addressed because, indeed, it will affect eligibility for Old Age Security benefits and could affect eligibility date for citizenship (but only if Bill C-6 is adopted).

I would review the CoPR thoroughly to verify the October 2014 date is for original entry to Canada rather than most recent entry prior to making the PR application. Then (assuming it is a wrong original date of entry), I would make inquiry to IRCC before proceeding to apply for an amendment.

If the OP confirms the date is in error, the OP might want to review the PR application as well to be sure the error does not derive from a date entered in the application, rather than an error made by IRCC.
