Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:
- Thread starter polarbear
- Start date
Does anybody know if the clause regarding the residency requirement will be one of those coming into effect immediately? I'm referring to the 4/6 years as well as to the fact that previous residency time does not count...

Hi ,
I just spoke to a CIC agent , although she didn't say anything concrete about the in effect date of C-24 ,
however she did mention that most probably CIC will take into consideration those people who are very near to complete their residency requirements .
I understand that its hard to establish a conclusion based on this info , however I really hope that there will be a transitionary period between the bill becoming a law and its in effect date .

Not quite what I meant -- the example I gave is how the prosecutor in the US wanted to charge the guy with something that is only possible with a naturalized citizen, in other words, an example of some of the debate around C-24 (some people can have their citizenship stripped, others can't).chakrab said:
i think US can also strip born-americans off their citizenship if they are dual citizens once they take up arms against the country.on-hold said:
in US, it is rather funny how they word the law. they don't revoke citizenship. rather, if one does certain things, they give up on the citizenship.
After Bill C-24, I wonder if they will modify the oath for Canadian citizenship to also include 'intent-to-reside'...on-hold said:
If they decide to impose the intent-to-reside requirement on existing applicants, that would mean people who have moved out of Canada after applying might find their application rejected (since they no longer intend to reside in Canada). I don't think that is likely to happen.meyakanor said:
This is already what's been happening for New Zealand. I think for NZ naturalization to be granted, one must not reside out of the country during the application process, or one may face delay or rejection.hobbes said:
This could potentially be how Canada would enforce the intent-to-reside during the application process. Of course, New Zealand has much more effective exit checks than Canada, so one would think that it would be much easier to enforce there than here.
As has been mentioned here a number of times, no, the residency requirement does not take effect immediately. The date for that section to come into force will be announced by the Government at a later time. We don't know what the date will be or when it will be announced.Empirical-Scientist said:
