Here is my point of view, I am sure others can add to the list. PRs don't have the same rights as citizens, you are not allowed to vote and that's huge. second thing is that with the new law, the pre-PR time doesn't count, which defeats the purpose of the law which is naturalization of PRs...

This is a better idea. That is something that makes more sense. How about this guys?

No one is covering him/herself. This is the date that people mentioned in this forum. And, FYI, the petition for invalidation of the bill failed.

Me too, but, at least it is worth a try right guys?

Hey everyone, What do you think about making a petition to the government to delay the enforcement of C-24 to January 1st 2016 in order to buy more time for people to apply? Thanks.

Yep! and that's ``if'' the judge decides to use any of those tests. The cases that I read, the CJ had decided NOT to use the Koo test and rejected the application based on the lack of physical presence. So, it is a gamble. If you don't appeal the judge's verdict, there will be no lawyer's fee...

The ones that go to courts are of course the unsuccessful ones. The successful ones should be either found on forums or by asking people. Does anyone know any successful case? I know one successful old case (2008), but the lesson from the PR application says, never rely on exceptions :)

Reading more on the court files, it seems to me that it really depends on the CJ and which tests they choose to apply. However, what would one lose if applies with basic residency and gets rejected (besides the fees and getting RQ for the next round of citizenship application --which most...

The waiting time will be extended from one year from now to 3 years from now since pre-PR time is not credited. It will be extra 2 years from next august (if you stay the whole 2 years in Canada, of course).

And if you check this document, cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/cp/cp05-eng.pdf the section which talks about exceptions, all my absences and most probably yours, falls into these categories. and these are court orders, citizenship judges will respect it (?).

I am exactly in the same boat as yours, and I was thinking of doing the same thing. I think if we apply with basic residency, most probably we'll get the RQ (which who cares, fill it out and send it), takes let's say 2 years, they reject it, al right, we apply again under normal law. It will...

How about you Tommygirl20247? Which city are you applying from?
