Older government did not want to process faster, as many new immigrants would not vote for them. They did change lot's of rules in their favor. This government is OK with faster processing times, as somebody mention before refugees for instance would vote more to the left (if they got the...

But if the changes become law sooner, she will be eligible to apply earlier, no? Which means that you should want the change as soon as possible this year

Yes, because machines do not accept the TTC day pass But true. The processing time is long intentionally to keep citizens of convenience in Canada longer (+ it creates government jobs)

I did ask myself that. but that promise was explicitly 25K refugees by the end of 2015. This is why the rush. it didn't really work well in the end (they weren't able to meet the target and now have settlement issues) For repealing the C-24 rule it is different. No specific time frame was...

Focus on economy as well - read about the expected deficit, and this was too part of their campaign ...

When is your wife applying? The backlog right now is because of processing the older applications. I hear applicants from March-2015 are now receiving citizenship. Once the March-June 2015 is processed the only thing left is 4/6 rule applicants which are not numerous right now. Many new 4/6...

What is the rush for the Liberal party to introduce it as fast as possible? This is part of their platform, but it doesn't really have to happen quick + There seems to be an intention to split the implementation to 2 dates The really important issues to start at Royal Assent and the less...

It is good then. means faster processing times

Under the new 3/5 rule are tax return still required? I mean tax returns for the 3 years one in Canada?

Is the proposed change returns the decision making to older process (3 decision makers)?

I do hope that it will take time for this law to become law, and even then I hope they will take time for the effective date to begin A good effective date will be sometime December-2016, as this date will allow all people delayed by C-24 to apply first by 4/6 rules without being blocked by new...

Does he actually want to streamline the processing of citizenship? So far he was talking about making family unification faster, but nothing about citizenship processing times. This is not an actual issue for voters The repealing citizenship/intent to reside was an actual issue. so they are...

Where can we read the budget draft?

Last time the bil-C24 became law in June 2014 (got royal assent) but some provisions became effective only a year after (date determined by the Governor in Council) to try to manage the expected backlog they probably can start certain changes only at a specific dates

Any liberal promise was about reducing citizenship processing times?

Should be 1 yr, as right now they process applications from March-June 2015, and after that there were significantly less applicants So if we assume it will be effective June, exactly 1 yr of new applicants enters the Queue, but the Queue should be almost empty by that time

Also note this: Provision prohibiting applicants from taking the oath of citizenship if they never met or no longer meet the requirements for the grant of citizenship, but does not apply to applications received before June 11, 2015 Such a backlog effectively means extra 1 year of processing...

I'm upset with the stupid laws by Harper government (TM) What you are saying is similar to this: "He is an evil man. But I'm sure God will punish him" When a serious crime is made, including terrorism, the country should be responsible to punish the criminals. We should not wash our hands and...
