Thank you, floppy. Means I have to have ACL status for 2 years? And not start as observer for 2 years?

Hi experts

It is stated that parent has to be ACL for at least 2 years to qualify for phase 2B registration. Does anyone know if it is by month or by date? I ask because I will need to register my child in 2024. But now is already end July so if I start now, by day, I may be a few days short of two years. Or if I join now, July 2022, I will be qualified to apply in phase 2B come 2024 July? Assuming all other criteria are met then. Thank you!!
