bill c-6 - when is going to be approved?

hopfullyl within a year
 
There's a difference between being approved and being in effect. It has to be approved first but that doesn't mean it will come into effect right afterwards. So if the whole thing comes into effect in a year, I'll be happy with that, even though I'll be over qualified by then :P

Correct

I also have an impression that these is a confusion among some people about the fact that there is a big difference between a Law being approved and the actual effective date that law will begin to be enforced.

The effective date usually comes later on.
 
It also depends how much opposition from the conservatives the bill receives.

Although they probably can't ultimately stop it going through, they can make it difficult and can delay things.

I'd say in effect within 12 months is a realistic timeframe if the conservatives don't make life too difficult. If they do, could be longer.
 
My view is that it will repeat a similar path that Bill C-24 went through and will be approved by June. Considering that Liberals want to make it effective as soon as possible but there is also a need to update application forms, I look for Canada Day as effective day.

For those in favour of this legislation, that's optimistic to say the least.

But speculation is free and without consequence.

While I am not joining the office pool bets for Bill C-6, I have suggested this year OR next year.

If compelled to narrow it more, I'd suggest it is unlikely the the 3/5 rule will take effect before the Fall, at the soonest, regardless of the timeline for Bill C-6 to reach Royal Assent.

If, if Bill C-6 receives Royal Assent, and if, if the particulars, like the 3/5 rule are still in the Bill in its final form. (While it is easy to guess this Bill is likely to pass and be adopted, and probably largely as it is constituted now, there are no guarantees, and particularly no guarantees it will not be amended before its final version becomes law.)
 
Keep in mind though that the intent-to-reside clause will be repealed immediately following the Royal Assent (assuming that that part of the bill does not get adversely amended). For a lot of applicants (who will be eligible within the so-called 'grace period'), this will be significant.
 
Definitely true ... As of now we could just guess or speculate on the day that bill will be enforced .
I think it just creates more stress for nothing , my way of looking at it is to forget about it right now , pretend the law is not going to change and move on with our lives . The sooner it is implemented the happier we'll be .
But we may guess what is the deep intention of the liberals , so they'd rather have it enforced asap as many of you guess for political strategies , but the system may be slow depending on the opposition
Cic is a very slow machine as we all experienced
 
this is what the bill says about it

27 (1) Subsections 1(1), (3) and (7) and section 8 come into force on a day to be fixed by order of the Governor in Council.


On Monday, March 7, we will resume debate, at second reading stage, of Bill C-2 concerning a tax cut for the middle class. I would like to inform the House that Tuesday, March 8, will be an allotted day. On Wednesday, we will begin debate at second reading stage of Bill C-6 on citizenship, which was introduced this morning by my colleague, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. On Thursday, we will begin consideration of Bill C-5 concerning public servants' sick leave.
