Why it took so long ? Like they didn't know before that people are abusing the system ?

Now....let's see how fast those RQ applicants get processed when the new apps go down to a trickle.

Any bets?

Someone may want to start tracking Test and Oath letters after 6/11...I predict it will not speed up because of the backlog of RQ applicants.

Dependabill?, Others? Whats your prediction?

Adult applicants must declare their intent to reside in Canada once they become citizens and meet their personal income tax obligations in order to be eligible for citizenship.

Does that mean anyone who became Canadian on or after June 11th?? even if the application was sent in October for example??

It's interesting, and quite telling, that the announcement came in late in the afternoon (evening actually in parts of Canada) on a Friday.

what does this mean?

what does this mean?

Probably one additional form or additional signature in the form or additional clause into the form

I believe that means after being Canadian passport holder u have to live in canada for every 6 months

It means that if you skip one income tax return, you are out. Out of the country forever and ever. Deported within 24 hours.

So if I start working in US I am not Canadian anymore?

Mate it's so sad to believe there was a lot of controversy regarding it that's what it says

What does it mean by "Individuals who submitted a citizenship application before April 1, 2015 will have a decision by March 31, 2016."?

Is it just an example ? What about applications received after apr 1 2015 until jun 10 2015? What happens to them.

I feel sorry for those who were expecting July1, 2015 as last date, very sad :'(, frankly if this rule came into force somewhere around September or October, 2015 would have been a better idea, as lot of guys would have saved from waiting one or two more year.

Accordingly to my estimate from this Forum around 90% of the people can be saved from frustration of waiting for around one or two more years. It is not the case of all the applicant that they want to run away from Canada, hardly 5% wants to do that but waiting under the sword of "intent to reside" for another year is frustrating (in my opinion).

My feeling goes with new applicants.
