Bill C-6 was spotted in the mall downtown buying gifts and preparing for the holidays. On a serious note, do you ever read previous comments? I will paste a comment I posted earlier (with some modifications because of new info), I hope it answers your questions:

I see a lot of comments on here might make it difficult for a visitor to find out the latest regarding Bill C-6, so I will just include a summary of where the bill stands now:
• On December 15th, 2016 the Bill passed Second Reading and was referred to committee by Senator Omidvar
• The committee it was referred to is: Social Affairs, Science and Technology
• The committee is composed of the following Senators: 6 Conservatives, 3 Liberals, and 6 non-affiliated
• The following non-affiliated Senator was appointed during Harper’s term: Don Meredith
• There are 15 votes, therefore a minimum of 8 votes are required to pass Bill C-6 through the Committee
• If all Cons vote No, and Libs vote Yes, then at least 5 out of 6 non-affiliated have to vote Yes
• One of the possible scenarios is that the Committee will introduce amendments to the bill and send it back to House of Commons for approval. The bill can then go straight to Third Reading and Royal Assent.

Regarding the time frame; anything provided here by me or any other contributor is pure speculation, please do not take it as facts and start planning accordingly.
• The next Senate sitting is on Tuesday 31st, January.
• There is a big chance the Committee will meet the same week.
• It may take a couple of committee meetings to complete the amendments
• If no amendments are included, and there is a majority vote, then the Bill could go to Third Reading after one Committee meeting
• The big question is when will the bill become law? My personal guess is it will get amended and go through the necessary route. It will not be delayed the same way it was before because the amendments will try to reach some level of compromise. So I would say probably beginning of March would be a reasonable date for Third Reading.

If the bills goes through, it should be applicable somewhere between June 2017 and March 2018.
We hope July 1st but there's no guarantee.

No you will have to miss your citizenship test and get RQed for that. The Senate is talking about amending the law from 4/6 to 10/20... :D

Due to the tensions rising between Earth Central Command and the Mars Colony, anyone going on vacation to Mars will be considered as a person of interest by Homeland Security and denied North American Union Citizenship... Sorry...
I suggest you change your vacations for the Babylon 5 Space Station instead. Much safer.

Possibly +ve for Canada Day implementation / announcement
 
Does anyone has idea whether both pre-pr credit and 3/5 rule will be implemented at the Same time or are there chances of pre-pe credit getting implemented earlier.Do Both need changes to IRCC process?

Probably depends on committee but as a bill it will be implemented altogether.
 
as mentioned several times and clearly specified in the text of the bill itself , the 3/5 and pre pr credit aren't likely to be implemented at the same time which sounds logic at the same time .
