You are so funny - you are the one making all the speculations and warnings and I am the one who don't care and roll with the punches - and you are calling me Nosterdamus? One more proof you have no idea what you are taking about
To apply or not to apply? C-6 queue vs C-24 queue!
- Thread starter HamiltonApplicant
- Start date
In all cases, I recommend having buffer of at least two weeks. If you are absolutely sure of your dates (such as for someone who has not left Canada once in the 4 years after PR), you can take the risk but I wouldnt in your case. I would apply on Oct 1 (you have 1 year buffer). On sep 30th ( you have 0 buffer). I think making sure your application is normal is more important than trying eek out efficiencies with guesses.
Now some kind of consensus is emerging:If the implementation of Bill C-6's more lenient requirements will dramatically increase the number of people who become eligible to apply all of a sudden and you have not heard of IRCC hiring more processing agents, then it is reasonable to assume processing times will go up from what they are today, which is dramatically down from what they were at the height of the Harper era back log, because there was a period in which fewer people were eligible to apply. Now, it may be reasonable to assume this, but it is also not possible to know everything IRCC is doing as it is true they are not known for transparency. I do not think that there will be separate queues based on the law or date one applies so it wouldn't make much difference in the scenario you describe above, but that is just my impression and I could be wrong. Historically, the biggest threat for a long processing time was non-routine processing--in which case it is better to apply under the law that gives more buffer--and local office--Western cities tended to be particularly bad, although the GTA was no cake walk either. Windsor tended to be relatively quick based on reports here.
- Most experienced forum members do not feel that there will be two separate queues, one each for c-24 and c-6
- Most feel the processing time will increase as a result of c-6
- Most feel it is better to be safe and apply under c-6 if you qualify under both
For me it is not a matter of queues, it is simply first come first serve. If you apply now, you should be processed before someone who applied next month, barring special circumstances and variables such as availability of test and oath dates.Now some kind of consensus is emerging:
- Most experienced forum members do not feel that there will be two separate queues, one each for c-24 and c-6

Secondly, it is not about being safer to apply under c6 compared to c24, it is a question of buffer. If you qualify today, I will tell you to wait a week or two and apply under c24. In your hypothetical scenario, it makes more sense to apply under c6 in my opinion.

- Most feel if you qualify under both and have adequate buffer under C-24, go for C-24, else C-6
Wow, groundbreaking ! Someone just found out about something that had been agreed by many people a few months ago, great jobNow some kind of consensus is emerging:
