Effective date of Bill C24
- Thread starter SherifEF
- Start date
Hi Guys,
Just to share the info about the buffer over 1095 days which a lot of folks asked here on this forum. I am an April applicant, I submitted my application with only 3 extra days i.e. with 1098 days since I had not gone anywhere. My application got accepted and I received my AOR exactly 2 weeks after my application was received by CIC and my ECAS too got activated a couple of days later
So I guess what CIC agents say is true that as long as you complete your 1095 day, you are good to apply on the 1096th day....as long as you have carefully and duly taken into account your absences / travel outside of Canada.
Good Luck!

Your case works with 1098 days coz you have not traveled anywhere. In 99.9 percent of the cases people would have traveled and so my case too. I applied with 1096 days. Getting accepted is not the issue. Getting RQ is. I got RQ even after documenting all my visits and also providing CBSA and US CBP report to show my trips. So I think adding buffer will help if you have travel history in your application.april2015 said:Hi Guys,

Basically there are 2 options:
1.CIC doesn't have efficient and reliable way to verify the actual physical presence , or
2.CIC deliberately want's to slow down some portion of the applications without particular reason.
The nerve wracking fact is that , there're different times during the process in which an RQ can be delivered.
But after all that's why this process is so interesting.
People can ask themselves , if the main requirement to get this citizenship is just by being physically here for the required period of time and if CIC doesn't have the means to verify that physical presence , then why there is any processing fee in place.
What the agents are actually doing there?
This is a simple process which artificially is converted to a complex one.

I haven't been back here for a while. But i heard about the changes from this bill. I had some questions.
1) Is there a grace period for people who landed here in summer 2012. Or for everyone who applies after changes (for example on July 1, 2015) will have to wait for 4 years instead of 3. This sucks because I heard it was only for new people arriving.
2) What is RQ?
3) What is cheapest and best way to meet english language requirement. I thought my wife could go to lync but heard it would be 3 months of classes, might be better to write ielts then.
Any advice would be appreciated.

1) there is no grace period. The new rule will affect every PR regardless of when one land, 20 years ago, 10 years ago or 1 day before the new rule. The onlly grace period is any advanced notice when the new rule will kick in.waljo88 said:
2) RQ = residence questionnaire. CIC will issue RQ to any PR that they are not satisfied with the proofs that the PR provided.
3) LINC is the cheapest because it's free. No cost to you.
my guess for cut off date is .... read
we are seeing that the the time between application received and AOR become less and less. Nowadays is less than two weeks so my guess is when AOR is issued when they just receive the application at this point cutoff date will come into force. ;D

Here is the answer : straight from horse's mouth

[size=10pt]Before June 2015 - old rules (3 out of 4)
After may 2015 - new rules (4 out of 6)[/size]
Now, the window is narrow... I know it's not an exact date yet, but its as close as it can be; and as clear as it can be. Looks like the date is sometime in jun.
All the best folks... Belt is tightened now...

By the way I want to make the first bet that the real cut off date will still be a mystery after The Canadian Bar Association's National Immigration Law Conference which will take place after 10 days.
The very same horse will be there and he will not give a definitive answer when will be the actual implementation.
I want to be the first one who is placing that bet.

That video is an old one guys, it has been discussed long time ago. The period he is saying was a tentative.
When will happen the actual implementation is a whole new story. So prepare yourselves for more mystery ahead.
There will be no clarity soon.

The first time I've watched this video was again in facebook from the last summer.
Ever since then this video has been copy pasted and presented as a new one, but actually is the very same footage.
Back in the days that was a tentative period, but when will happen the actual enforcement is a mystery.
And that's why I'm sure that after 10 days on The Canadian Bar Association's National Immigration Law Conference he will not say any definite date.
