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

[subha_1962]

there is in fact an upcoming break in 3 weeks for 3 months,

No, Senate break for Christmas - New Year is from 23rd Dec 2016 to 30th January 2017. Not three months. That is in the Summer

Alright then. My question still holds - will they be going through the 2nd reading/ committee/ 3rd reading stages in the next 3 weeks?

Conservatives did that in 3 days and passed C24. It is possible but liberals want to 'respect democracy and institution by having fair debate'. Wt d helllll.......

it barely passed the house of commons , i don't get to see how they will pass it in 3 weeks . Early 2017 they will pass it , eventually , but all of those affected will never benefit from it . Facing the reality is what necessary at this stage . They said they will pass it before summer break now the bill hasn't moved since june ..almost 6 months ! If ever it passes it'll only benefit new PRs . Planning or thinking around C-6 is mind-killing . It creates more stress and impatience ..just remember in 2019 what to do . Personally i'm sick and tired of the way they've been playing around with people .. c-6 was part of a major campaign commitment ..they spend time discussing stuff that are not even a priority .. working 3 days a week ..8 months out of 12

an interesting article :

Sorry for the wrong quote. You are correct. It's not 3 months. They were going on break in Decemeber and then returning back in Feb. it makes 6 weeks instead of 3 months but due to months, I got confused.

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?

I don't know and as I said, its not on top priority right now

Hi guys,
I am following this thread regularly. But recently I got confused on the permanent residents benefit from the proposed new rule (C-6). I presume that the new rule (3/5 and 1 year of pre-PR residency count) applies to everyone regardless their landing time. Is my understanding wrong? I came Canada in 2012 April as a student and I landed in July 2015; if proposed C-6 is passed, when am I eligible?

Based on my understanding, if it goes back to 3 years, I will be eligible for citizenship in July 2017 (2 years after PR and 1 year from Pre-PR; 3 years in total).

Can someone clarify me if I am wrong?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am in the same boat, if C-6 passes I become eligible right away. Yes 2 years after PR and 1 year prior to PR will be counted towards your stay.

Yes, when C-6 becomes effective (if it ever does) - it will apply to all regardless of when they landed. The point made earlier which may have confused you - mentioned those "affected" will not benefit from C-6, i.e. those affected are the ones who had to "wait longer than 3 years" to be eligible for Citizenship due to C-24 which became a law last year, i.e. by the time the new bill C-6 becomes a law - those impacted candidates would've already been eligible under the 4 years rule.

I came Canada in 2012 April as a student and I landed in July 2015; if proposed C-6 is passed, when am I eligible?

Based on my understanding, if it goes back to 3 years, I will be eligible for citizenship in July 2017 (2 years after PR and 1 year from Pre-PR; 3 years in total).

yes, correct.

The bill C-6 has been also skipped for today already, unfortunately.

OT, where is that 200 pages thread (bring back...)? Someone deleted it?

Unbelievable! It is right that someone said they plan to implement this in Summer 2018!
