Hello there. So as you might have read in the other threads, bill C-6 finally passed the Senate. However, it was amended. So that leaves the question on what will happen next.

Service announcement: Like the old one, I want to keep this thread as a FACTS ONLY thread. I like a good discussion and guessing game just like everyone else (I post a lot in the other threads, too), but as a service to those who don't want to talk and guess but just want to stay updated, please keep this one to the facts. Thanks!

Also, please don't quote this whole post or it'll make the follow-up questions hard to read. If you have a particular question, only quote the part you want to ask something about.

OK, so here we go. Some of the stuff is a copy paste from the old thread because it is still relevant.

What would the original version of the bill have done (and what does it still do)?
- It reduces the residency requirement from 4/6 years to 3/5 years, this is still the case.


- Every day of residence before PR counts as half a day of residence (for up to 730 half days = 365 full days), this is still the case.

My Question is :-
How about Visitor visa? i have spent 11 months on visitor visa + 10 months on Work Visa prior my PR.

Hi

I have a question regarding your article about Temporary Resident Visa, Is visitor Visa days are countable for residency requirement or not? i have spent 11 months in Canada as visitor before i get my work visa and PR.

Here is original bill as follows....

C-6 will also:

Allow permanent residents who had spent time in Canada on temporary status or Protected person, to count up to 365 days of this temporary status towards the residency requirement.
