Hello all,
I have a question regarding the current situation I'm in. I landed May 2013. I wasn't eligible to apply under the old system in time (before C-24). I still have about 300 days left to satisfy current requirements (under C-24). If bill C-6 goes effective right now, I should be eligible to apply immediately. Unfortunately, I'm going to be transferred by the company I work for here in Canada to work in another country (for the same company) possibly sometime in January. The country I'm being transferred to, is the country I'm currently a citizen of. This transfer will likely be permanent or for the coming 2 years at least.
My question is, if the bill passes after I leave Canada, say I leave in mid January and bill becomes law sometime in February, would I still be eligible to apply considering that I have satisfied the requirements in terms of physical presence? Is being currently living in Canada a requirement when applying?

There is no point guessing this... first of all, there is no way it would become law in February , as many people have suspected, it probably won't until end of 2017 or later. Also, even under the old system, if you leave right after submitting application it would still be a red flag, I know someone whose application was stuck for over 3 years and finally got approval a year after she returned to Canadaanamono said:

This bill is half half and should be ammended, many issues are not addressed including the part on revoking citizenship. This should be returned to house of common. I know most of you only care about the 3/5 but let be real, the 3/5 will not be applied any time soon even if the bill passed
Having rung a senator's staffer earlier today, I understand that Senate committees won't be meeting now until early February, and that the effective date for Bill C-6 will be decided by the Minister at the Third Reading in the House of Commons &/or at the Royal Assent stage.surya99 said:
if senator finally disagree to pass c6ChippyBoy said:
then what would be the way
can immigration minister pass this bill or the Royal Assent
Sorry i do not have much idea how it works
but i wish this bill will pass by end of 2017
The Bill is expected to undergo some amendments in the Senate, before then having to be returned to the House of Commons. No, the Minister cannot unilaterally pass this Bill himself; no Canadian minister (not even the PM himself, or the Queen of Canada herself) can enact any piece of legislation unilaterally. Bill C-6 should become law during 2017, hopefully earlier rather than later in the year, and hopefully with a prompt effective date, in order to promptly undo the injustices of C-24.Need Canadian Pr said:
