IIRC:
1 and 3 are definite “no” because conversion won’t be complete until some time in Feb (if you’re an authorized Efiler, you should have the dates already from CRA).
2 and 4 are debatable, predicated on having compliant software or a preprinted return, both of which are highly unlikely.
5 is a yes.
Contrary to @SmallBizGuy I would say #3 is a yes - I have filed several T2s in January. However, it is unlikely that a corporation with a December year-end (other than an inactive one) will have all its books and records ready for year-end prep before the end of January.
I typically file my own T2 for my PC in January of the new year… it is either in January or not until June. It is either the first or the last one done. Cobbler’s kids have no shoes, right?
But none the less, T2s generally have more flexible dates and change less than T1s.
