Excuse me I don't understand can you explain with example?

This is the best case scenario:
Say you became PR on Jan 1st, 2016 and you first entry to Canada was exactly two years ago on Jan 1st, 2014;

Then when you apply for Citizenship, the two year pre-PR time will be eligible for 1 year of residency time credit.
or Every 1 day spent in Canada before PR counts 1/2 day towards Citizenship residency time requirement for up to an year.

Hope this helps, and of course this bill is not finalized, the effective date will only be available after its royal assent.

thank you for your response I understood it but what you said is activated now

No - it's not activated now. As explained above, the bill still needs to pass royal assent.

This is some rather premature excitement.

The bill passed second reading, now this will happen:

- The committee will discuss the bill and maybe propose adjustments. The committee votes on a recommendation.
- The bill goes back to the Commons for the third reading where all these propositions will be discussed
- The bill has to pass the third reading in the Commons
- The bill goes to the Senate
- The bill has to pass the first reading in the Senate
- The bill has to pass the second reading in the Senate
- The bill has to pass the third reading in the Senate
- The bill has to receive Royal Assent
- The bill needs to be published in the Canada Gazette
- The Government has to decide by Order-in-Council that the new 3/5 rule comes into effect.

Totally agree.

It is also worth mentioning that most probably the amount of time between the Royal Assent and the actual enforcement of the 3/5 rule , will be far greater than the whole process from the First reading in the Commons until the Royal Assent.

Agreed. We all know that CIC can move as slow as molasses. I'd say it is far more likely that my wife will apply under the 4/6 rule than the 3/5

Sorry I don't understand the meaning of molasses , but I guess that it's something slow as CIC

Yes most probably the 4/6 rule will stay active until sometime in 2017.

Politren and others, will the time spent as PR beyond the 3/5 if I were PR say 8 years ago count towrads citizenship at 1/2 as well?
