Sharpen your pencils, we're all applying next week :D

They haven't started it yet

Actually prior to C-24, there was no limit of 365 days because that's as you said all you could get, two years of pre-PR and two years of post-PR and that's exactly why C-6 limits it to 365 days. Because now it has to be 3 out of 5 years so technically the max you could get is 730 days of pré-PR...

Well the Press release explaining the new changes to C-6 states: - Applicants must be physically present in Canada for three out of five years before applying for citizenship. - Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person...

But CIC send you the COPR, you just have to sign it with the border agent, the agent doesn't give you a COPR. Did he/she present him/herself to the border with no COPR and expected the border agent to take their word for it that they were selected to be a Permanent Resident ? I don't really follow

Yeah, that's only 2 months to wait, I was supposed to wait 2 more years, overall I'm still very happy

There you go https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/06/bill_c-6_receivesroyalassent0.html 3/5 and Pre-PR credit will come into force in Fall 2017, I'm a bit disapointed, probably September or October

The Governor said he accepts to sign the Bills and he signed, no audio while he signed, now they're resuming debate on C-210. Nothing special was gonna happen

They left the HoC so now they're all in the Senate chamber, no video but audio here http://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/XRender/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20170619/-1/6927?useragent=Mozilla/5.0%20(Windows%20NT%206.1)%20AppleWebKit/537.36%20(KHTML,%20like%20Gecko)%20Chrome/58.0.3029.110%20Safari/537.36#

It's so formal it's almost funny lol

You can watch the live camera feed on the HoC website...

They'll suspend the sitting during Royal Assent, so we won't be able to follow that. The dude is just gonna come and sign the laws and leave

The date on the bottom is not accurate, it says 6 june 2014, but the page was updated last week. This is a snapshot of the page on april 23rd and as you can see, the page doesn't talk about any incoming procedure update...

That's amazing news, maybe it hints at an application on the 30th

51 yeahs

Yeah some are scheduled to be enforced immediately

They are planning a Royal Assent ceremony, I wouldn't be surprised if they planned it on the 1st of July for Canada Day. Once it becomes law, CIC will issue a statement to say when the rules will be enforced

I think it'll be a close vote, but hopefully our nightmare is finally over :D

It still has to go through the Royal Assent to become law, but yes, C-6 might pass today !

They said plenty of awful things to be honest, don't wanna shift the conversation, just look at the #C-16 on twitter and read what people are saying. Vote on C-16 will happen in 30 minutes and debate on C-6 will follow the vote
