Do any one has an idea when this new four years bill will be implemented i already completed my 1097 days can i send it now or wait for new bill if i submitted now will i be considered for previous 1095 days or they will send my application back plz sahre your knowledge
 
The new bill can't come into force before it's published in the Canada Gazette (once royal assent is given to the bill), so the standard is still 1095 days out of the last four years.

The fees required are now $400 instead of $200. If you include less than $400 your application will be returned.
 
thank you for replying but if i apply today and they receive it by 13th feb and they will process it in june or july may be by that time new bill implemented will they count my application for previous bill or they count it when they process the application under new bill

a bill is a draft of a proposed law.
 
what are the chances that this will be implemented how much time they took to increase the fees from 2 to 400$ did they took three to four month or just right away
 
Send your application as soon as possible, this bill is not retroactive and will only apply once fully adopted! The date that counts is the date they receive your app, not the date they start processing it! You cant be held accountable for their delays!

Send your application ASAP!

The fees have nothing to do with the new bill, the decision was taken in last year's federal budget!
 
when they are presenting that new bill 4 out of 6 years for citizenship and do any one think it will be approved and implemented right away

Unlikely. CIC needs to adjust their systems and train staff. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen soon enough....
 
did any one know about the proposal for the changing the fees for citizen ship that when they proposed and date of implementation
 
Hi Iftikhar123

Please read the following thread

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/new-citizenship-bill-thursday-feb-6th-t184049.0.html

All you questions are already answered many times in this thread.
 
the fees was increased effectively from 6th Feb. Charging fees is an operational matter of CIC and can be increased (or decreased) without passing a law. however, to implement new changes, the proposed bill needs to become a law which can take anywhere between 6 months to 2 years.

hope this helps.
