    It's been expected from the day of the first reading in the Commons that this Bill C-6 will face difficulties once it reaches the Senate. There are a lot of conflict points in this Bill for the Conservative Committee which will work on the Bill. Most of the members in that Senate Committee are...

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

    The Senate is indeed the big unknown. The Minister also expressed concerns how the Committee of the Senate will handle this Bill. On the other hand consider yourself lucky, because you will apply before the 3/5 rule. Hence no backlog.

    Mandamus?

    The issue is how effective are those Mandamus cases in practise, because it is indeed risky to throw so much money just for a gamble.

    Withdrawal of one application and keeping the other - Leon ? Dpenabill ?

    Bill C-6 into effect, can I apply for citizenship from aborad

    Unfortunately the law also doesn't say anything about their common little dirty tricks of different methods to put one application in a delay mode for very long time.
