(d) limit the requirement to demonstrate knowledge of Canada and of one of its official languages to applicants between the ages of 18 and 54; and
(e) authorize the Minister to seize any document that he or she has reasonable grounds to believe was fraudulently or improperly obtained or used or could be fraudulently or improperly used.

Your topic title is deliberately misleading.

Slightly misleading, but the post is still informative. John McCallum introduced legislation that would repeal parts of C-24:

Question: Do you think it will take time for the 3/5 to be applied again ? i heard that the bill C-24 will be repealed in the coming days ... does that mean that we automatically go back to the old calculation way of residency requirements ?

Thanks

Until the C-6 Bill becomes law AND comes into force, the 4/6 Rule will continue to apply.

should be fine.

You will be fine. You are not leaving Canada longer than 6 months in which then you would officially become a non-resident of Canada. This would definitely affect your citizenship application if this happened as you would be violating the "intend to reside" clause during citizenship application.
