Important News indeed.
Those guys who already have completed physical presence of 1095 days, should not wait any longer to apply for Citizenship as rules might change any time and then you may have to wait another year or so.
That is the reason I am applying next week and even do not want to apply in 2014.
Thanks for updating this.

Great news! As a Canadian citizen I strongly support Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. The citizenship residency requirement should be increased to 6 out of 8 yrs, not 4 out 6 yrs. There are too many immigrants in Canada, and something needs to be done!touché said:
No I do not hope. For me it doesn't matter. I live in Canada and I plan to stay here.
In general legislative process takes a long time in most democracies. In order to for a bill to become a law it can take time esp on an important area such as immigration. Although Canada has a majority Conservative government it may take a while for the bill to become law. They like to take their time in the government.

Let us wait and see. We won't know until it happens esp given the Senate scandal etc. I am curious to find out how long it takes.
If the change makes it easier to process the citizenship application I am all for it. They should adopt the system like in the US. Five years to become a citizen and you can be in the country 6 months in a given year and not issue RQs as they have been doing it in Canada.
It takes about 2'-3 months to get a citizenship application processed in the US.
Hope the new change will be positive for the processing times....
