that's precisely why i think those ppl will not wait as long as before for the same outcome --- process changed but the evaluation criteria will not.

what's your bet? and where can we find you if lose :D

If processed according to the current law, then definitely an RQ and CJ "Only a citizenship judge can determine if you meet the residence requirements with fewer than 1,095 days of physical presence. If you apply with fewer than 1,095 days of physical presence, a citizenship judge will evaluate...

don't be mad at me. i would be very happy if what you said it true. but "a day set by the order of council" really does not guarantee it is not 1 or 2 days immediately after the royal assent, particularly given Chris's attitude. when checking previous acts, i did not expected the bill to be...

it is all just a gamble. i myself would not put such a high stake on slim-chance outcome.

i don't think there is anything wrong with your lawyer's advice. you will not be able to file your application on July 10 for sure, as the bill will be passed then and you will not be qualified to apply under the new law. if you meet the basic resident requirement, you can just apply and leave...

I do not understand why ppl say it is just about waiting for ONE additional year. It should actually be TWO. Suppose one just qualifies for application now. Then s/he must have stayed 3 yrs = 2 post PR yrs + 2 pre PR yrs x 0.5 Now all the pre-PR days does not count, so the person would only...

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks Newbie2014. This is a good reminder.

omg is it real? any official clauses on how the cut off dates shall be treated? i can take it if it is the stamp date, which we can control via the courtier service. but if it is an internal date processed by CIC, that sounds extremely unfair - why should the applicants be responsible for...

Desert Lion: How do you know that the pre-study has already passed? So the three senate meetings next week will likely be the 1st & 2nd readings?

The bill is 99.99% for sure to be passed by Jun 28. Check the timeline for Bill 31 - first Senate meeting Jun 11, Royal Assent exactly on Jun 28. It is all possible for the bill to pass the 3rd senate meeting by Jun 20, and royal assent before Jun 28.

first of all, what is Sep 21? the effective date? second, i lack just <5 days by end of june. with many out-of-canada days as work travels. If go with the new law in July, I will lose all the pre-PR days, and will have to wait for 2+years. God knows what else will happen by then. Also, how are...

any one agrees with my earlier comment -- that it is better to apply now even in lack of a few days (suppose that you meet the basic residency), than waiting for another two year? i say even the RQ in the new sys would take less than that

the bill status can be found at public website h t t p : / / w w w . p a r l . g c .c a / LEGISInfo/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&billId=6401990 i thought they would not have enough time but apparently house of commons is putting top priority of letting this bill fly. not sure about the...

committee report already presented. i've never seen the government being more efficient on other matters. seems they are doing everything to get it passed by Jul 1.

it does not make sense. if he submits application now (before the bill becomes effective), he will not need to sign the "intent to reside" therefore no need to stay in Canada before oath. plus, if the new sys indeed speeds up as Chris promised, he may actually get it much sooner than expected...
