The "new" rule was the old rule before Bill C-24. Liberal is just rolling back to what Conservative at their good days had before.
Getting robbed and picking up the same amount of money it is. 1-1+1 = 1.
What to be so excited about?
People are quite weird...
Right now you get nothing, and need 4 years after your get your PR before you can apply for Citizenship (which takes another year to be processed) => you won't get your Citizenship for more than 5 years and you will need to renew your PR Card.
With this new rule, if it passes as is, you will need 2 years (3 less 1 year as temporary resident) before you can apply.
Just enjoy and focus on the positive aspect of it. If you could apply right after the PR there would be no point in even applying for PR.
