Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

[screech339]

that's information sharing with CBP of usa is great which indicates all arrival/departure dates, tho people raise privacy concerns.

The issue with sharing with CBP of USA is that the US info can be wrong as well. For example: we left for a day visit to US say April 4 and came back the same day into Canada.

According to the online I-94 records, US recorded us as entering US on April 5. Does this mean Canada thinks we are still in US since the 5th of April and having no record of coming back since the 5th?

It is one of the reasons I submitted an ATIP to CBSA to determine what record CBSA has recorded us as exit/entry records to be if Canada is using US entry records as exit records.

Does anyone know if a coming-into-force date has been issued for any of Bill C-24, especially those affected by the change of 3-4 years to 4 in 6 years???

Some of the Act is already in force but not the section that you are referring to. No "official" date has been announced for that change. The consensus seems to be about June/July 2015.

Majority of canadians supported the bill and that's all matter not what immigrants say. There are too many immigrants here and some of them abused the system. Now everybody is paying for that.

Why don't conservative idiots announce the implementation date. There is no democracy in this country. The bill passed even with lot of
resistance, when public made so many valid points. Lot of racism. Just playing with public sentiments.

I understand there is no coming into force date for the Lost Canadians either! Could be anytime within the next ten years!

I believe that there is no date for that, as it happened immediately on the Bill becoming law. I think that it was also retrospective.

I believe that some Lost Canadians, like those born in wedlog, before January 1947,outside Canada, to a Canadian mother, they aquire the right to apply for proof of citizenship only when the specific section of the new Act giving them for the first time right to citizenship comes into force. Once this happens their citizenship will date back to January 1st, 1947. I suppose that these sections of the new Act will come into force along with the rest sometime in June or July 2015.

1. When the residency section comes into force, if you remained in Canada for 4 straight years, without leaving, you would be eligible to apply for citizenship. You have to have 4 years residency in the 6 years prior to the date that you apply .

Just a question for someone who applied for citizenship at 4 years into 6 year RO. Does the person must report history back 6 years in the application despite only being in Canada as PR for 4 years?

That part of the new law hasnt come into effect yet so no one has really applied under the 4/6 rule, and the citizenship application form is still the same. When then it comes into effect the application will definitely be modified to ask about the applicants 6 years residency prior to the date he/she applied.

I know it hasn't gone into effect. Just curious as to how far back the applicant has to report even though the applicant been in Canada 4 years and applied at the 4 year mark qualification. So the applicant has to tell CIC that 2 years was in native country?

They could write a note, "if you are less than 6 years in Canada give account of your time from landing to the application date instead of all six years". That would properly make things simpler for applicant and CIC agent to execute the process.

Yes definitely, just like its done now, you list where you have been and what you have been doing in the last 4 years.
