Was this skipped today? or did they discuss the bill? I missed the podcast today and right now they're discussing C-29.

Awesome! Thanks, Sorry I missed that comment!

passed 2nd reading?

 

[dbss]

I have a feeling it will be skipped. S-5 is to be discussed and then C-6 and Senate is over for the day at 6.

Session seem to have adjourned so I guess it has been skipped for today... Again...

I arrived in Canada in 2008 as an International Student and did my entire undergraduate degree here and in 2011 when I graduated I changed to a post-grad work permit, I immediately got a job and on January 2014 I got my permanent residency (my application for PR was affected by several strikes and issues at the time). In 2015 I was all ready to apply for Citizenship on January 2016 until the bill was passed which changed my application date to January 2018

It's gonna take me 10 years to apply for Citizenship, meanwhile there are several stories of people who became citizens a lot faster and often through exploiting the system (e.g.: arranged marriages). I've worked really hard since I entered Canada first as a Student and now as a worker in the highly important tech sector, I already have a house here and a spouse. The government really doesn't seem to want me to stay here. I've gotten many opportunities to go work in California and other places in the US... I wonder if backward laws is why Canada is so behind in the tech sector and why we lose so many people in this field to the US.

You're not alone Gihad. I arrived in 2011 with a work permit, PR in June 2014 and could've applied in June 2016. If C-6 doesn't pass, my application will not be before June 2018...

It's actually quite astonishing that the senate is still sitting, its 90 minutes over the scheduled time!!

 

[nnicky]

They are discussing Bill S-5.

Maybe they realized they're behind on some bills and they wanna catch up?
I know it's probably not the reason but I'm "Mister Positive"...
They're discussing S-5.
C-6 COULD be next. COULD.
