With Bill C‑12 (Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act) nearing approval, could this legislation have any practical impact on permanent residents who have not yet met the 730‑day residency obligation but are currently residing in Canada and actively accumulating days?
Specifically:
  • Does Bill C‑12 create any new enforcement mechanisms targeting individual PR residency obligation compliance, or
  • Is its scope limited to program‑level, systemic, or mass measures (e.g. fraud, administrative errors, public safety), rather than individual RO assessments under IRPA?
I am trying to understand whether PRs who remain in Canada and are on track to meet the 730‑day requirement face any new or increased risk under this bill.

Best regards,
