Bill C-6: Senate stage

[lilen]

I also told him the same thing..he said yes it will be discussed today only and he is confident that it will in effect as a law very soon..

are you sure this MP is in the Canadian government or somewhere else ?

My understanding is -- If 3/5 comes back . . . You still need to meet the total number of days in Canada of 1,095 - then in order for the "year" to count, you needed to be here for at least 183 days in that year. So if you were only in Canada 183 days every year you would not qualify(?) since you don't have enough total days in that 3/5 period -- I think. But could be wrong.

-M

There is no more 183 days requirement in the new rules. You could, for example have the following days:
year 1: 365 days
year 2: 365 days
year 3: 122 days
year 4: 122 days
year 5: 122 days

That is more than 1095 days and you qualify for citizenship

This 'MP' is probably just a Male Person, and we have a lot of such MPs in this thread...

Totally agree in case of the guy who asked the query..he says he has completed 2 years as of today..so assuming c-6 becomes law tomorrow it would mean the 5 years in consideration are 9th June 2017,16,15,14,13 to 9th June 2012..and he needs to have 1095 days in total with days in years 2014, 2013 & 2012 counted as half upto a max one year..

Please correct me if i am wrong...spyfy

MP Salma Zahid just tweeted:

I don't think it will be debated today unfortunately. Following question period, I expect house leader will let the HOC know when it will be.

 

[egghead]

I would have never guessed it was going to be delayed again. Stop defending these people and just admit they SUCK.

 

[asifmehmood]

And the house leader is not trustable for the last 2 weeks. She keeps mentioning it will be discussed next week

Hi All:

I've been closely following this Bill, and am pretty frustrated myself. It seems like the Liberals aren't pushing the bill strongly enough fearing the loss of approval from current electorate. That's IMHO.

Now, here's an email reply to my message of support of the bill to my MP:

Dear V@@@@@,

Thank you for writing to me in regards to Bill C-6, which passed the Senate in March and is currently before the House. I welcome hearing from constituents, as open dialogue is a vital part of my role as a Member of Parliament.

Our government encourages all immigrants to take the path to full membership and permanent belonging in Canadian society. One of the strongest pillars for successful integration into Canadian life is achieving Canadian citizenship. Our Bill recognizes the deep attachments which international students and workers often develop with Canada, and allows them to receive credit for time-spent-in-Canada before becoming permanent residents. As an immigrant myself, I am proud to support this Bill.

Bill C-6 also implements our campaign commitment to repeal the worst parts of Stephen Harper's Bill C-24. Our Bill eliminates the government's ability to strip citizenship from dual nationals, a regressive legal tool that created an entire group of second-class citizens. In addition, we repeal other aspects of C-24 which created new barriers to citizenship.

Canada is a nation of immigrants. Our diversity enriches Canadian society, creates global business opportunities, and is part of who we are as Canadians.

Once again, thank you for writing to me about Bill C-6. Please don't hesitate to contact my office on this topic, or any other.

Sincerely,


Hon. Hedy Fry, P.C., M.P.
Vancouver Centre

[subha_1962]

v_volf can you please let me know what is IMHO?

v_volf can you please let me know what is IMHO?

In My Humble Opinion

 

[pkin007]

C6 will be debated tomorrow
Chagger just said it in HoC

 

[pkin007]

was watching the Parliament channel

 

[subha_1962]

Bardish Chagger spoke in French, and couldn't understand whether C6 is tomorrow or next week? DId anybody get it?

 

[spyfy]

C6 will be debated tomorrow
Chagger just said it in HoC

No she didn't say that. She said tomorrow will be C-44 exclusively. She listed bills for next week, including C-6. So "next week" is the best we can get at the moment.
