Effective date of Bill C24

[DND]

US is not my original country. If you read my post, I worked in US on TN visa. I wouldn't be on TN visa if US is my original country.

Then you were not a Canadian of Convenience

NAFTA benefited to each other's country. Canada would not have the economy it has now if there were no treaty. That is why I said TN visa is only good for help the economy along, nothing more, you contribute to the economy of the country with nothing to show for personally.

I'm of the opinion that what is beneficial to the economy, is beneficial to the people.
Feel free to address any concerns you have about NAFTA with your MP or prospective MP. If the government feels it is good idea to cancel it, it should go ahead. However, there is a much greater probability that this agreement will be expanded in the future.

The waiting time for qualify for medical care has no bearing. The longer you are out of Canada, the more taxes not paid into medical care. That is like not paying life insurance for 5 years and when you do find out you have a terminal illness, you go buy life insurance.

Not really like that, and again it is out of the Province not out of Canada. Any issues should be addressed to the provincial government

I agree that he has as much right to apply for TN visa as a Canadian in US. But the way he wrote it, he want to get Canadian citizenship and get out to any other countries including US all over feeling that he is mistreated or it is not going his/her way.

It is OK for him to write it in any ways he feels like. He specifically wrote about moving to US on TN1 Visa.
However, I will go further and write that he is free to move to whatever country he feel like because of Canadian charter of Rights and Freedoms, regardless of how he feels he was treated.

Not really like that? It's provincial jurisdiction. That is not the point. To illustrate my point:

Parents/grandparents sponsored PR by the children. They never paid a single dime all their lives to Canada health care. They are mostly likely to be retired thus not going to be working in Canada when they land here in Canada. They will now have access to Canada Medical Care. Now you can see my point I am making. Again nothing to do with waiting period to qualify, nothing to do with provincial jurisdiction.

So it is obviously that they have not contributed anything towards the cost of medical cost and reap all the medical benefits. This is my point. The longer you are out of Canada, the longer your taxes not in Canada, the bigger tax contribution gets overshadowed by the actual medical cost when you do use it.

 

[Prospective Canuck]

Excuse me everyone. I have come to affix this sign to the virtual portal of this chat room:

"EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, AND UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE,, DUE TO POPULAR WHIMS AND OCCASIONAL CAPRICES, THe DESIGNATION OF THIS CHAT ROOM IS NO LONGER "EFFECTIVE DATE OF BILL C-24", BUT RATHER "GENERAL TOPICS OF INTEREST TO PROSPECTIVE CANADIANS OF CONVENIENCE".

Do some of you realise the excellent case that you make for the imposition of measures, even more stringent than those of C-24, in order to thwart the less than honourable intentions that some entertain?

The provision, "Intent to Reside" refers to a good faith commitment to center one's life in CANADA, and not to grab a taxi to the aeroport, for a one-way ticket to Winters, Texas, right after the citizenship ceremony! {Good luck in Winters, by the way!)

Perhaps there are even those who find it "unfair" and "discriminatory" that the citizenship oath ceremony should be administered INSIDE Canada, of all things! How utterly inconvenient a requirement for Canadians of convenience!

For those Canadians of convenience wannabes, I hope that you find true convenience in Winters, Texas (or wherever), be it in houses of convenience, convenience stores, or even citizenships of convenience!

As the famous Prime Minister, John F. Kennedy, once stated:

"And so, my fellow Canadians: ask not what your country can do for you,
ask what you can do for your country."

That the case files of all good faith applicants be processed expeditiously!

So Prospective Canuck really shut everybody up.

Any news on Bill C24?

I think Prospective Canuck meant to say ..to paraphrase what John Kennedy said...since JFK did not say the exact words quoted above.

So getting back to the initial topic:

Lets all vote, if you only have one and just ONE vote on which MONTH you think the law will be applied?

I'll start, and I think the law will be applied some time in JUNE.

I can't believed almost one year only rumours, speculations and gut feelings and still nothing official.
Nothing official about the cut off month
Nothing official about the cut off date.
Only Smoke and Mirrors.

The worst part is that a lot of people expect minimal notice in advance (If any) because we know their style.

This is the style we are expecting from them when the time comes for the cut off date about the issue of this topic.
Implemented with surprise.

 

[CanadianCountry]

April 29th could be earliest date of cutoff because that is the date when the gazette II will be published. By April 29th they will have 2 weeks to review the public comments and garbage them.

Absolutely possible, because they've never engaged themselves with something official as cut off month.

After the comment period we could see the same message , that it will be enforced on the day of registration which is again open ended question.

 

[CanadianCountry]

Previous notice in the gazette about implementation that came in mid-March was ONLY about comments. This is probably the last stage when all work is already done.

The is very HIGH probability it can into force on Apr 29th.
