It didn't make sense to hope for anything in the first place when it comes to this bill

How many of you are actually writing to Senators on daily basis ?

I think the order of listing doesn't mean a thing. If they really want they can skip all the one's above (like what they are doing to C6) and then debate C6. Just that I think knowing that there are people interested to see this through they just take pleasure in delaying it

I got this reply after contacting senator:-

The same bill will continue in Jan 2017 at the same stage - no regressing with the passage of the New Year - just added time unfortunately.

I think atleast we can relax the bill wont die.

i have a question on an unrelated topic

I was a student in Canada from Sep 2005 - Nov 2009 (4 years)
Between Aug 2009 - Aug 2012 I was on a post graduate work permit (3 years)
From Aug 2012 - Nov 2014 I was there on a Visitors Record (2 years)

It's a long story as to why I did not apply or get my PR back then, but my question is: say I get my PR in the coming months, for simplicity sake and timeline say Jan 2017. Would any of my time above count towards the citizenship requirement of 4 out of last 6 years? Did international students not have 50% of their time count towards this requirement? Or is that only applicable if I had applied under the CEC stream? I know bill C-24 had made a lot of changes and the Liberal government has introduced quite a few amendments to that - any idea of where things are on this? I have a weird feeling my time as a student and worker won't count towards the citizenship requirement now...anyone got any thoughts on this matter?

Simple answer is no, they don't count under c24, and the chance of C6 passing is getting slimmer everyday, so don't count in it

Hi
I think this is a wrong forum for this question. this forum is for those immigrants anxious to become citizens or for citizens like myself wishing to get rid of the unconstitutional two class citizenship standard introduced in bill c24 and wishing my wife to become a citizen soon.
The complete answer is no for now. But in your case you are very likely to be affected in a positive way by the new bill c6.
The fact is Senate is stalling the bill but unless the government rescinds the bill or there is a prorogation the bill will not die and Christmas holiday or summer vacation do not change that. And we are 35 months away from the next election.
So very likely by Jan 2019 the bill is ready and good for you.
Hope this helps.

First of all we don't know if that bill will ever pass
Secondly, even if it passes, he's not a PR yet, and his time spent in Canada as student and worker 2005-2012 would be way out of the 5-year range and wouldn't matter anymore. He was a visitor from 2012-2014, but time as 'visitor' wouldn't count even before C-24

So, the simple answer is no, his pre-PR time won't count either way

That's correct, skipped.... that's been said, "f.Frum" will keep holding the bill till the maximum she can do so.
