In Effect / Implementation Dates if C-6, post Royal Assent

[spiritsoul]

Hoping that C-6 will pass the 3rd reading soon as well as get the Royal Assent by April (Optimistically) or May (maximum), I would like to start this topic in order to inform the members about the in effect dates of C-6 clauses after being a law.

Repeal of revocation provision (Royal Assent)

Repeal of intention to reside provision (Royal Assent)

Physical presence in Canada, Physical presence for 3 out of 5 years (Date to be affirmed by Governor General)

Time spent in Canada as a non-permanent resident (Date to be affirmed by Governor General)

Repeal the minimum 183 days physical presence in 4 of the last 6 years (Date to be affirmed by Governor General)

Applicants aged 18-54 must meet language requirements and pass knowledge test (Date to be affirmed by Governor General)

Canadian income taxes for 3 out of the last 5 years (Date to be affirmed by Governor General)

SOON we'll watch the implementation of the first clauses of the bill upon getting Royal assent. Specifically the intent to reside.

I think it will not take more than 6 months. I would say 3-4 months max.

Dear learned members of this forum I need an advice from you that I will be completing 4 years on 30th June 2017 but I would like to go to my home country for a short visit for a month. So is it better to file the citizenship application on 2 or 3rd July 2017 under 4/6 rule and then go for the visit or after coming from my visit I have to make the application.

Suggest you keep some buffer of some days over the 1460 as if you have missed declaring any trip out of Canada you could be in trouble at later stages

Since the new CIC likes to try new things with their procedures, for example
- The Express Entry pool (not sure how well it's been going since I didn't follow this)
- The parents/grandparents sponsorship lottery (which has been a disaster from what I have heard)

Let's see how they are going to handle this sudden increase of applications once C-6 is implemented. I won't be surprised if they have
- a lottery for citizenship - if you qualify and win the lottery, then you can apply, or
- an Express Entry for citizenship - if you qualify you can enter the pool and they will give you a score and send you invitation based on your score...

Let's see if any guesses actually turn out to be true
