Just a speculation, if the law is on on July 1st 2016, the residence requirement will be changed back to the old one immediately?

When the conservative part enforced the current law, it took one year to implement the residence requirement/calculator. This time it would be the same?

Law pass on July 2016, and the new residence requirement will be on from July 2017?

Please give me some of your thoughts, thanks.

Not necessarily, when the conservatives changed the law it took about a year to get enforced, but maybe because it was in the other direction.Anyway few weeks and we will know

no, it wont be effective immediately it says below that Clause27(1) to 4 will come to force when ordered by the Governor in Council, but the others will come into force immediately upon receiving royal assent.

2.5 Coming into Force (Clause 27)
Clause 27 provides four separate occasions on which the Governor in Council will order certain clauses to come into force:

Clause 27(1) refers to the provisions that deal with status and physical presence in Canada contained in clauses 1(1), 1(3), 1(7) and 8.
Clause 27(2) regroups clauses 1(2) and 1(4), which reflect the change in the required period of time in Canada of three years over five years.
Clause 27(3) refers to the new age applicability for the citizenship grant requirements of demonstrating knowledge of an official language and knowledge of Canada.
Clause 27(4) has a separate coming-into-force day for the provisions related to the new power of seizing documents.
All other clauses will come into force upon Royal Assent. These include the clauses stipulating that the intention to reside in Canada will no longer be a requirement for the granting of citizenship and that the only ground for revocation of citizenship will be fraud. The consequential amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act will also come into force upon Royal Asse

CIC/IRCC, like any large bureaucratic institution, is slow to change. It will take them awhile to implement the new rules.

Then, when the law is passed, i still have to wait for considerably long time before I can benefit from the new law...

Even though I can meeting the new residence requirement immediately after the law is ON, I might still have to wait for another 6-12 months before they change the residence calculator...

something such as "Not be able to revoking the citizenship" will be on right after the royal assessment, while it might take one year for the residence calculator to rollback, am I right?

Thanks

yes, even if the law receives royal assent, you still have to wait for IRCC to implement it. It doesn't happen immediately. For example, the controversial C-24 bill received royal assent in the summer of 2014. But it wasn't implemented by CIC until a year later in the summer of 2015. I'd say one year is a decent guess in terms of how long it will take IRCC to implement the new rules.
