[skhan123]

More precisely this is the statement on my calculator:

According to the information you provided and assuming nothing else changes, you will accumulate 1,095 days of physical presence on 2014-06-30.

So if cic gets my application on June 30...should it be ok?

No. You should sign it on the next day July 1st and send it, at least according to the instructions.

I will pay extra for courier. Can't trust Canada Post on time sensitive things like this.

 

[Sharif11]

If submitting the application in person is not an option, will need to travel to Sydney and mailed it from there using FedEx am delivery (within hours service)

Totally agree!

But if the application should be received by July 1st, then it will not work as we are assuming here that from July 1st the new law could be applicable... :'(

If you submit the same day, your application will be returned to you.

Sharif11,
Can you please give the reference to this information. In the calculator I put June 30 as date of sign and the outcome was that I meet the 1095 physical days requirement. Also on the application form, following is the statement:

Remember to make sure that you are eligible to apply for citizenship on the day BEFORE you sign this application.

This meeting, along with ones on 10th and 11th, are for Senate Committee right? Do we have schedule for Senate Readings? How come the committee's studies will happen before any reading?

A distinction must first be made between a bill and an Act. A bill which has been passed by the Senate and the House of Commons remains a bill until it receives Royal Assent. Thus a bill becomes an Act when it is assented to, although this does not mean that the legislation comes into force automatically. Acts may come into force in various ways and each Act must be examined to determine which commencement mechanism applies.

 

[citizenshiper]

first of all, what is Sep 21? the effective date?

second, i lack just <5 days by end of june. with many out-of-canada days as work travels. If go with the new law in July, I will lose all the pre-PR days, and will have to wait for 2+years. God knows what else will happen by then.

Also, how are you so sure that RQ will increase under the new law? didn't they propose the 1 decision maker system?

If sadly you miss this 21 sept timeline, you will then will be on 21 sept, 2105 under the new law and probably CIC will process within 6 month which means you will be citizen within 1.5 years. Applying less then 1095 days just to catch the new law, CIC will take this note and might even put you in few years of RQ system.. But, hope for best, I still think you might be able to apply in Sept. as the bill may be passed before summer with 2-3 month grace period might be there...
