Hi

Received confirmation of Permanent residence on May 16, 2013.
Did landing July 10, 2013.
Received PR card on August 10th, 2013.


According to my confirmation of Permanent residence, i am eligible to apply under the Law before BIll-c24 and according other document dates i will have to apply under the new B-C24 law.
I have been here approx 7 years.
Under the new rule i wont be able to apply till 2017.

You landed on July 10,2013. Even under the old law you need 2 years presence minimum as a PR which takes you to July 2015 as your eligible date of application.
