Yes! And Senator McCoy moved that the bill be NOT read a third time and instead be amended. The very lengthy amendment that was proposed will reinstate access to due process for the cases of revocation of citizenship by allowing the affected individual to request that their case be referred to the courts. If this important motion passes (hopefully!) the amended bill will eventually go to the HoC and again hopefully they will accept the amendment without further amending the bill such that it will quickly receive royal assent. I suppose if the proposed amendment becomes part of the citizenship act, it will cause a hike in the processing time for newer applicants as the amendment will make it much harder for the department of IRCC to revoke anyone's citizenship even if they have clear evidence of misrepresentation; consequently they might enhance their review process for grant of citizenship. There is also another factor which is the increase in the number of applicants that will definitely occur immediately after the 3/5 rule comes into force.

From Financial Post today: [Senate proposes major amendment to Liberal citizenship legislation: ‘It goes a long way’]

Debate was adjourned Thursday and the Senate now enters a two-week break, meaning votes on the amendment and the bill can’t happen until at least the week of March 28. If the Senate passes an amended version, the House of Commons will have to decide whether or not to accept the amendment before the bill can become law.

Most of C-6 has to do with repealing controversial elements of Harper legislation, Bill C-24 — including the provision that allows Canada to revoke citizenship from dual citizens convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage.

The bill also changes the residency requirement for citizenship applications, from four out of six years to three out of five years.

What do you think

where do you get the 'very close to pass by 2017' idea from reading this?
I only got the impression from this piece that 'more time for discussion/ longer wait is expected'

Hi - I have a question that I have asked in other groups but interested to get people's opinion on:

If you are eligible to apply for citizenship now, would you wait till C-6 passes or do you go ahead and submit your application?

Cheers,

My wife is waiting to apply for citizenship. She'll apply when she is eligible for whatever rule is in effect.
