Here is the funny story, we both came to Canada together but he got his PR almost a year before me. Under the old rule, I would have to wait over a year be becoming eligible, but C-6 equalized everything. This is the irony of life.

Applicants must be physically present in Canada for three out of five years before applying for citizenship.
Applicants must file Canadian income taxes, if required to do so under the Income Tax Act, for three out of five years, matching the new physical presence requirement.

He was referring to the abrogation of the following Bill C24 provision: "Applicants had to be physically present in Canada for 183 days in four out of the six years preceding their application."
Answer to you your question "What do you guys think about processing times after bill c6? Now it looks preetty fast. Does it worth to apply under 4/6 or it will be mixed with new applicants anyway?"
is Yes, I estimate the average processing time will jump from 12 months to 18 months in next six months! If you can, rush your application!
Here's the historical data Processing times 2015-16->2016-17-> As of now -----------> 21 Months->15 Months->12 Months
My prediction is 2015-16->2016-17-> 2018 -----------> 21 Months->15 Months->12 Months->18 Months
I visited the US on 06 Dec 2016, but the border agent did a mistake and stampe the passport as 06 Nov 2016, but the date is printed well as 06/12/2016 on the I94 paper, and when I check my travel history I found the right date as 06/12/2016. Otherwise the travel history that we check online is not considered as formal paper.

First of all, get some printouts of your i-94 right away from their website keep it in a safe place! Very important!!!
If your i-94 travel history is correct, that's what CBSA records will show
When it comes to proving RO, they match CBSA records with your Physical presence calculator. They also check the passport, but CBSA records+Your physical presence calculator+i-94 printouts will prove the correct date to whomsoever it may concern.
I am sure you know that the paper i-94 will have to be returned to CBSA someday.

I can see my travel history, but when I ask for a copy of i-94, it tells me that there is ni i-94 for this passenger (me).
Untill now the paper i-94 is attached on my passeport, becaus ewhen I came back the candian border agent didn't take it. Have I to do somehing with it now?
