After third reading and passing the bill, should not the Senate needs to send the bill back to HoC?

Only if there have been amendments. However there have been no amendments.

I said from day one that this is passing before summer.
Implementation seems so tricky, nothing can be said conclusively no matter how much analysis you do.

I thought because the bill originated from HoC, it needs to go back, but i guess I was wrong.

Again, only if there are amendments. Otherwise it goes directly to royal assent.

Guys the Bill is passing for sure before Summer Break.

What we should focus on knowing now .. when it will come into force? (THATS SHOULD BE OUR TARGET) because thats what really matters.

I was trying to think of the rationale behind passing the bill before or on Canada. The only logic to passing the bill in such a haste is the section of the bill that addresses lost Canadians. My suspicion is that the government has identified and notified some lost Canadians they intend to give citizenship on Canada day. It's good publicity for the bill and also a good platform to launch a political campaign for the CONS.
Good point about Canada Day.

Another reason to rush the bill through and get it implemented ASAP is because if lots of notice is given then CIC would probably be flooded with applications which would just add to the backlog. Better (from CIC's point of view) to get the majority of the bill in force especially the residency requirements, which will then give CIC some breathing space to work their way through the backlog. It wouldn't surprise me if the date of citizenship for someone who just gets their application in before the rules change and someone who just misses applying under the old rules and has to wait an extra year, doesn't end up being virtually the same. More of an issue for someone with lots of pre PR time.
