At this point it looks like committee will reside over the bill and make adjustments prior to the second reading. My understanding it is not that common but happen sometimes when there is significant amount of objection to the bill.sthaeem said:

Sashali78, congrats... So thus far what is your reading and gut impression based on feedback and body language of MPs you guys have met?
Are you also saying that the "suggested alternative language" will be introduced now or AFTER 2nd reading and before it goes to committee with the various "new edits" ...??? :

Question about Citizenship Application "Received" Date:
With all the talks about changing rules being applied based on application received date, i am wondering what that date really means:
a. Is that the date on which the application package was delivered to the Central Intake Office in Syndney by the postal service?
(or)
b. Is that the date on which CIC actually opened up the application and verified if all the required documents are in place?
I guess this one is the AOR date.
It would be very helpful if people who recently applied just around the day when the citizenship fee was increased (Feb 6th) can share their experience w.r.t to the applicability of the fee increase based on when they actually mailed the package
Thanks in advance

The rcvd date is the actual date that your initial application package is recieved at CIC in Sydney, NS. If Sydney sends your application back as incomplete, then the recieved date will be the one when the new application (including the missing info) is recieved by CIC. So if your application was recieved at Sydney on or before Feb 6, 2014 you were had to pay the old citizenship fee. However, if your initial application was sent back as incomplete and the completed application was recieved after Feb 6, 2014 the new fee appliescurious78 said:

It seems that Conservative government has created another Controversial bill.

good work! i love democrat!
