[gst8486]

Hello Seniors, i am eligible for citizenship as of today and i am wondering that if i apply for citizenship now, would my application fall under the new rule (Bill C24) or it will still fall under the rule under which 3 years residency is required.

I would appreciate the help

Nobody knows when the new bill will be enforced , they keep it like a secret.

You will apply according to the old law

How can it be a secret if everyone knows the new 4 / 6 year rule is coming?

It would have been a secret if the 4 out of 6 year residency rule was in effect immediately and Noone knew about it beforehand. Now that would be a secret.

It is like the 2 year conditional spousal PR clause, that was really a secret since it was announced suddenly out of the blue effective from date past before the announcement date. No one saw that coming.

Nobody knows when it will be enforced ... and it will not be a secret if we have the crystal ball and try to see the cut off date.

If you don't like the word secret then I can use the cut off date is a mystery ...

Do you know the cut off date?

Yes mystery is much better. The cute off date I think is sometime this middle of this year. That's the mystery part. My guess is good as yours as anyone else. The only clue we have the the "approx one year" when the bill was signed.

The primary idea of that clause is more like an additional ingredient to reminds the PRs that they have to be physically here before they apply.

The minister said that couple of times during the clarification, that it is about the period before the submission.

There is no case in the western world civilization that the applicant will be denied just because he is living abroad while the application is pending.

You got it wrong! wrong on each of the 3!

Of course you also will not be able to prove that I am wrong, right

Oh please, that is akin to saying. There is life after death. or this one. There is no existence of God.

Since no one can prove me wrong by providing physical proof of the existence of God, I must be right.

One can only guess. If the new 4 / 6 year rule kick in before August 2015, you have no choice but to wait another year. If you qualify under the 3/4 year rule at the time in August, you can consider yourself lucky. Just make sure you have the application completed in full with no mistakes or missing documentations. Has to be a perfect application. If there is any mistakes or missing documents or missing signatures, CIC can return the application as incomplete and you will then wait another year and apply under the new 4 /6 year requirement.

Exactly, and that's why nobody will be affected in any negative way simply, because is not possible somebody to get rejected just because he left after applying.

I think that you have a really good chance to apply according to the current law

So are you saying that everyone who applied inland PR sponsorship can still get PR status because the applicant left Canada and waited until PR application is done when the rules clearly stated that the applicant must reside in Canada during the entire time?

I am talking only about the citizenship application and the false fear that is spread around the new applicants. There is no practical possibility somebody to get a denial just because he left the country while the application is pending.

It is simply not possible.
