Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

[civic]

Purolator has main hub in Nova Scotia so they can deliver my package there sooner than Canada Post Priority for cheaper rate. (2 business day vs. 4 business day), $35 vs. $44. So hopefully it gets there on Thursday.

 

[noor-blue83]

do you guys think that by this friday we will know when it be enforced. I know it will pass I just want to know the freaking date

 

[chakrab]

yeah signed and mailed today on the same day. Thanks to the forum.

good. some people signed on the 1095th day and that's incorrect. one needs to finish 1095 days before application. caution to people who are trying to send in hurry, do not send on the 1095th day.

 

[MrB]

God will make a way.

Thanks, but my problem is I do not have three Canadian Entry Stamps...
When I entered the boarder, I used the PR Card Self-service, and there is no entry stamp in my passport.

I have all the air-ticket with me, but I am worried if the CBSA report (I did NOT apply the record) can be different.

Therefore, I want to give myself a week buffer...

I am freaking out now.....

send tmw, i suggest. cuz thats what i am gonna do.
CIC will contact CBSA to get your entry record so it doesnt matter that ur passport pages dont contain all entry stamps

don't worry, i didn't have any canadian entry stamp since i got PR. canadian stamps don't really matter. however make sure you put all vacations in the calculator for which you have stamps in the passport.

I am not quite happy even I was able to mail it on 1096th day. I feel like we are all here fighting against genocide and only a few survive where the majority get behind... It's very annoying. I am also worried about completeness and accuracy of my application right after I send it. Dealing with CIC is worse than a roller coaster ride.

Yes, I am precise on anything else. Only the Canadian entry log is missing.
tomorrow will be 1097 days for me.

This is insane!!!!!!
i think i need to send out my application tmw.

As I already stated, news reports state that C-24 will pass before the summer recess, possibly as soon as THIS WEEK. Why, then, are people surprised? Only when we know when the new citizenship requirements will "come into force" will we know when the cutoff date will be. If you have enough days, apply soon. If not, you have no choice but to wait and see what the date will be.
