Based on this clarification, apply on June 23rd will be no problem then, right?
Definitely .. Some People here are not familiar with the Federal System and how Bills are passed in the Parliament.
I will explain this for the 100th time ..
First of all, there is no conspiracy against anyone, this Bill is like any other Bill, it has a certain procedure and it is being discussed with other Bills in Parallel, Like any other Bill .. there are people who support it and people who are against it.
Second of All, Today is Monday 16th of June .. The Bill is pending to pass Third reading from the House of Common ... There is only 7 Business days left for the Senate to pass this Bill Before Summer Break (Assuming it passed the reading Today), which seems to be impossible as there is 3 Readings left + Committee reviews.
Third, If that Impossible Scenario happened and the Senate passed the Bill in those 7 Business Days, The Law won't be effective immediately, and this is based on reviewing all Citizenship Bills since the Federation!!! 1947 Citizenship Bill had around 7-8 months period between Royal Assent and when the Law was effective, and last Bill in 2008 .. took a year time from (April 2008 until April 2009) between Royal Assent and the time the law was effective.
Based on those Facts .. Anyone who is eligible to apply in 2014 should relax and take it easy, People who are saying the Bill will become a Law before Canada Day (2014) are just having a bad dreams.
