Time spent on a visitor visa won't count. Only time spent under a working permit (working visa) will count as 1/2 day towards citizenship, up to a maximum of 1 year (i.e. can claim an year if you worked 2 years in Canada before becoming a PR).

This is not correct. Bill C-6 reads: "for every day during which the person was physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act before becoming a permanent resident, the person accumulates half of a day of physical presence, up to a maximum of 365 days;"

From Wikipedia:

More specifically, the classes of Temporary Resident Documents under IMM1442 are as follows:
Temporary Student - study permit(also IMM1208),
Temporary Worker - work permit(also IMM 1102),
Temporary Visitor - visitor record(also IMM 1097),
Temporary Resident Permit holder who require TRP to overcome inadmissibility issues

Se even if you were in Canada just as a tourist, the days would count as half-days.

Anyone who claims that they can predict when this bill becomes law is not an expert.

No one is an expert here, but your assumption is reasonable; not sure if the 3/5 rule would apply that soon, but the rest of the bill should apply by then or even earlier, depending on how the Committee meeting goes.

Over expecting from liberals who got no clue how to push their agenda in parliament . If Harper wanted it, it would have been law of land last year but he wanted C24
