The bill is still going through second reading. The second reading will finish either this afternoon or tomorrow morning, depending on how much they'll be on time today. Second reading means that people debate the bill as a whole.HighFive said:
THEN the second reading is over and the bill is sent to the committee for detailed consideration. After that, the third reading will take place where the bill is passed by the House.
The second reading is usually the longest reading, since that is where the "classic" debate happens.

Hi fellows, especially seniors, may I ask whether it is possible that the pre-PR residence time, 6 years for me, will be credited for citizenship application? If yes, when will it start, from 2016? Thanks for ur clarification.

While I have avoided, and for the most part will continue to do so, the guessing game as to when certain provisions in Bill C-6 (like the 3/5 rule, which is the one of most interest here) will come into force, I would caution against planning based on an expectation of when the 3/5 rule will apply. There are, for example, many reasons why the 3/5 provisions might not come into force anytime soon. The logistics of implementing any change like this are daunting (it took the Conservatives nearly a full year, despite how important it was to Harper and company to get the longer and more strict qualifications implemented), and most of what needs to be done to implement the changes cannot be done until after the Bill becomes law (spending government money and resources without a legal basis is generally frowned upon -- although, allocation of resources could be explicitly included in the budget, which when adopted becomes law, so as to begin the work sooner, but this is not likely).
But also, as many have been referencing, there is likely to be a flood of new applications almost immediately after the 3/5 rule takes effect, and the government is almost certain to more or less carefully choreograph the transition to be prepared, as much as practically feasible, for this.
In contrast, the Bill itself is more or less likely to proceed through the process fairly quickly, subject to potential stalling by the Senate, given that (1) adopting Bill C-6 into law will demonstrate the government is fulfilling its election campaign promises, even if parts do not actually come into force until much later; and (2) there appears to be some urgency in getting the repeal of Subsection 10.(2) in the Citizenship Act done, which is one of the provisions in Bill C-6 which will take force as soon as there is Royal Assent (thus effecting the a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian policy).
In sum: I would caution against expecting the 3/5 rule to take effect any time soon no matter how quickly Bill C-6 is adopted.

Guys , i think we're just hurting ourselves with all those speculations as to when it'd come into force , supposed extra delays , talking about ircc budget and all that .. the thing is no one is right or wrong , we JUST don't know . Nobody even insisted about the unfair clause restoring credit pre-PR time , or that major clause about stripping the citizenship away . I sincerely think that those 2 causes are really the most important details about bill c-6 . There will always be huge delays whether it's bill c24 or bill c6 , budget is a capital factor and it seems that they don't want to move on with their time compared to other government agencies where technology made them work faster , more efficiently and with short delays ( CRA for example ) . They moved faster to process thousands of refugees . Don't forget that they have just been elected and they're already coming forward with bill c-6 , if it'S not a political move to gain more voters in four years ( which would make a lot of people eligible and some of them refugees ) then why would they rush right now a couple of months after . Because if JT and his team are not convincing with the whole situation we're going through with the economy and all that , they'll lose next time and the whole point of bill c-6 will have been pointless .Politics is just about business
