Canada citizenship

[a.tolouee]

Hi, I submitted my citizenship application today: July 14,2023. For the date I become PR I entered July 8,2021 which is the date my application was approved but according to COPR I became PR on July 15,2021.
Would this be a problem from the physical presence point of view?

If you have at least 1095 days during the past 5 years as a PR living in Canada, you meet the physical presence requirements. However, if the dates you give are correct, you've only been in Canada for 2 years since you became a permanent resident and it appears you are applying for citizenship too early.

No I was temporarily restricted since 2012
I completed 1094 days instead of 1095 days
That’s my problem

Yes, this could be an issue. IRCC may ask you to complete a Residential Questionnaire.

So they will return my application?

The best thing to do is cancel your application and resubmit it. You don't want a Residental Questionnaire sent to you, it's a pain. I would contact IRCC this week and request your application to be stopped. Again, I would refile, after you get 1095 days and you should add a few months to this timeline for your next application.
