C24 Intend to Reside/Stay in Canada
Hi, I just read the entire thread re: Intend to stay thread in regards to the new citizenship law c24. In looking at the actual law, I have found the following clause in the legislation in regards to intent to stay in Canada:
"1.1) For the purposes of paragraphs (1)(c.1) and 11(1)(d.1), the person’s intention must be continuous from the date of his or her application until they have taken the oath of citizenship."
This clause follows on:
3. (1) Paragraphs 5(1)(c) to (e) of the Act are replaced by the following:
(c.1) intends, if granted citizenship,
(i) to continue to reside in Canada
So, it must be obvious the criteria one must intend to reside in Canada is only meant for those who have made application for citizenship until they have taken the oath of citizenship. If this is not so, then why are all the media pundits stating there are two tiers of citizenship (or more) in which citizens naturalized after C24 is in place will have to stay permanently in Canada or risk having their citizenship revoked?
