Landing Date - Questions

Hi,

I have a copy of my traveller history report from the CBSA. The report is complete - it has all my entries into Canada and all the dates are correct and matches my records except one: my landing date; it's one day off.

I was already in Canada on a work permit before I became a permanent resident. When I received my PR documents, I just went to the border to land. I believe they call this flag polling?

Basically, using made up dates, if my landing date was 11 NOV 2011,
- my COPR says I became a PR on 11 NOV 2011 (the date was written by the officer at the POE)
- my PR card says I became a PR on 11 NOV 2011
- the entry stamp on my passport has 11 NOV 2011 (the COPR number is written below the stamp too)
- but the CBSA report has no entry for 11 NOV 2011. Instead, it has 12 NOV 2011 (1 day later)

Initially, I thought I'd just leave things as is but I'm getting a little worried now that I have mailed my citizenship application. I did not declare this "absence" (11 NOV 2011) on the residence calculator since it's a "day trip" and I did not leave/enter the country on 12 NOV 2011.

Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Thanks!
