Toward Understanding Bill C-6 to Amend Citizenship Act; new 3/5 rule plus

[itsmyid]

am i right to say that most of the people affected by c24 will be eligible in 2017 ?

of course not. Especially for those who lost an entire year of pre-PR credit

Every extra day, those affected by C-24 increase. there is no cut-off date.

Technically, the only people affected by C-24 are those who landed and will be landing before June 11, 2017, 2 years after 4/6 rule went into effect. I say June 11, 2017 because there are people who cannot claim 2 years of pre-PR credit towards citizenship. So if bill C-6 (3/5) doesn't come into effect until June 11, 2017, then 3/5 rule become completely moot for all those who were affected by C-24. C-6 will only benefits new PR's who landed after June 11, 2015 with no pre-PR credit and after June 11, 2017 who will gain pre-PR credit towards citizenship.

I don't understand how your logic works! Here is my timeline and it doesn't align with your saying:

-Been here from 2010 - Studying & Working
-Landed in August 2014

If the bill passes today I will be eligible today. If the bill doesn't pass I will be eligible in August 2018

Let's assume the processing time takes 12 to 14 months regardless. So if Bill C-6 3/5 kicks in anytime before June 2018 I'm still golden in oppose to Bill-24.

If you read my post again, you will notice I said "those who landed or will be landing before June 2017". You landed in August 2014 thus was affected by C-24. Those who landed after June 2017, it doesn't matter if they wanted to claim pre-PR or not, they couldn't anyway, based on 4/6 rule coming into effect June 2015. This is the 2 years of Pre-PR credit a new PR will not be able to claim regardless if the C-24 was applied only to those landed after 4/6 rule as opposed to applying to every PR regardless of landing date.

As Bill C-6 get delayed further and further and assuming 1 year wait for 3/5 to come into effect after ascent, the 3/5 rule will get closer and closer to year 2018 mark. By the time 3/5 will finally kick in, it becomes moot for those affected by 4/6 rule. This applies to you as well. If the 3/5 rule finally come into effect sometime in 2018, 3/5 rule becomes moot for you.

If you read my post again, you will notice I said "those who landed or will be landing before June 2017". Clearly you landed in August 2014 thus was affected by C-24.

Alright! Got it my bad!

Met with a Conservative Senator today. She said bill will be passed, not a problem. Probably this year before they go on break next month.

Good you've met her, this is a vague answer.... you were could ask her: what is the problem though?

BTW, there is only 4 weeks left till the winter break!!!

It's not on priority. They handle will issues as they come. Senators actually have much on their plate. There is an upcoming break in 3 weeks for 3 months.

May I ask who this conservative member is? And yes, there is in fact an upcoming break in 3 weeks for 3 months, so does this mean that they will go through the 2nd reading, committee, and third reading in those 3 weeks?
