Bill C-24 Committee Stage

[yuz]

Citizenship applicants will need to be physically present in Canada for a total of four out of their last six years. In addition, they will need to be physically present in Canada for 183 days per year for at least four of those six years. These provisions will come into force in approximately a year.
What you think?

Can anyone clear my thought on the new bill?

Four out of six years, that's 365*4 = 1460 days

if we live four full year, the second condition of 183 days per year met

if we spread those 1460 days evenly among six years, it will be 1460/6=242 days/per year
the condition for 183 days still meet

So in what circumstances, the condition of 183 days per year for at least four years will be unmet?

If you leave Canada on Jan 1st 2015 and come back on july 20th 2015 then you can't count 2015 towards your 4 years requirements because you would have spent less than 183 days in Canada in 2015
