How about protect person before get PR ? Is count a half day for them ?

Protected persons get zero credit for Pre-PR time spent.

I think this category is effected most by Bill C-24:

- The processing time for PR application under this category is 2 years.
- Lets say IF everything goes well they get PR in 2 years.
- then wait another 4 years to apply for citizenship

So overall it takes around 7+ years

Semantics!

A bicycle and a truck are both considered vehicles as it pertains to traffic but we all know they are different

And they both (workers/visitors/students), however different, follow the same rules of the road (temporary residents of canada).

Do they? Workers can work while visitors cannot, which is a pretty large rule difference.

Your analogy is also poor because bicycles don't need a license while trucks do, which is a VERY BIG rule difference for obvious reasons
 
OK, stop, just stop! Can everyone PLEASE stop turning this thread into a contest and focus on the original intent of the thread??!!

Thanks in advance! *sigh*

You are too literal to hold a discussion with. Applicants don't make rule. The government of Canada make the rules. So, if you want to be upset, enjoy!
 
I have no issues with using pre-PR credit so long as it is appropriately applied to the proper stream. I personally believe pre-PR credit should counts toward PR qualifications. This makes the more sense to me. The more you stay as temporary resident, the more qualified you are for PR status. Pre-PR credit should not be applied to citizenship as that is jumping the gun, sort of speak. Pre-PR credit towards PR qualifications, PR time credits towards citizenship makes the more appropriate and logical sense. But hey, that's me.
