    Bill C-6, current status, FACTS only

    Any FACT change about the "Intend to Reside" clause? To my understanding, if C-6 is passed "intend to reside" will no more be a requirement for citizenship. Am I right? P.S.

    CBSA, Free vs Paid (what does "five hours of search and preparation time" mean?)

    Just out of curiosity, what does the $5 do when you ask for CBSA? "Include a $5.00 application fee, which entitles the requester to five hours of search and preparation time. " Is it faster than the free version?

    Consequences of applying with basic residence

    Thanks Keesio. Yes, if I miss this chance, I'll have to apply under the new rules. If the 400 bucks gives me a 0.001% chance I'll definitely take it. My only serious concern is the effect on my wife's application. I hope it does not affect her application. Thanks again buddy. Others, any...
