Sign this petition Folks lets try our best

whats the point of these petitions? it's a private for-profit site that sells your email address to ad providers. they don't go to the minister and even if it somehow does, they are not signed by citizens. you need petitions by citizens to make an impact.

Hi Guys,

I know the bill makes it harder to become citizen but how does it effect permanent residency?

As per the below para in globe and mail article, the example immigrant is in danger of jeopardizing her PR if she stays outside Canada. I thought the bill only impacts PR becoming citizens.

Globe and mail article
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/citizenship-act-will-create-two-classes-of-canadians/article18778296/

"She is now a permanent resident, just at the starting line of the four years she must spend in Canada to apply for citizenship. Her Canadian employer asks her to work in one of its overseas offices (perhaps to take advantage of her language skills and cultural knowledge). But under the new rules any time spent outside Canada will further delay her eligibility for citizenship and could even jeopardize her permanent residence. She refuses the career opportunity."

The answer to above question impacts thousands of PRs who have spent time out of Canada for various reasons. So, please help me understand if anyone is aware of it.

Thanks.
Can

effect to PR is nothing new. if one stays out of canada that doesn't count towards PR residency. This article isn't saying anything that already doesn't happen. if she has a spouse who is a citizen and accompanies her, then the days do count towards PR residency.

Yes, nothing new here. The article is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

However, they don't and never have, contributed days towards citizenship.

i know. but the query was just about PR

 

[canimmigrate]

My confusion is caused by the below line:
But under the new rules any time spent outside Canada will further delay her eligibility for citizenship and could even jeopardize her permanent residence.

So my question was how the new rules can jeopardize her PR if she stays out.

Also according to me as per the current rules anytime spent out of Canada as an employee of a Canadian company counts toward PR residency.

Also according to me as per the current rules anytime spent out of Canada as an employee of a Canadian company counts toward PR residency.

The time will be counted as long as that Canadian company meets the criteria set out by CIC. For example, if someone creates a company themselves and then goes outside of Canada to work for the company they created - this time won't be counted towards PR residency.

 

[canimmigrate]

Right.
But my question is how the new rules jeopardize PR if time spent outside.

 

[chakrab]

Right.
But my question is how the new rules jeopardize PR if time spent outside.

it doesn't really affect.

the article says that since it takes longer to be a citizen. so it becomes harder as the applicant has to maintain the PR status for longer.

What will this protest do after the bill becomes law. If you have to protest, protest tomorrow or Thursday. After that may be too late.

Yes - I have to agree. I have really never understood the timing of the protest.
