Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[itsmyid]

By any chance, have they cut down police certification time from 4 to 3yr. Extremely unlikely though.

Like many people had pointed out, it had nothing to do with C-6, why would it be mentioned in this event?

So the new forms will be available on 11th oct only?? Any idea?

They didn't say. Assume Oct 11 I guess

Fedex going out Friday

Please dont hurry. You have to wait until new updated CIC calculator and new forms of 3/5 rule are online unless applying under 4/6.

Lol please see my previous post. No guesses / assumptions needed... post #316

That's precisely why IIRC won't release the new forms before Oct 11, because most people would mail them the same day.

No, applying under 4/6. My app will arrive on the 11th. One of the last ones I guess.

Hope it doesn't get buried under an avalanche on the 12th.

As I and many others explaine many many many many many many times already: The threshold for Police Certificates which is based on Section 22(1) of the citizenship act was not changed by Bill C-6. It has been clear since June that the Police Certificate requirements will not change.

Has anything been announced regarding applications that are submitted and already in process? Are we still going to be assessed on 4/6 rule after Oct 11? I know many forum members have already speculated it is unlikely we will get assessed on 3/5, but I am wondering if this has been stated in speech or somewhere in FAQ/newsletter. I did a search but have not found anything.

Some minutes ago, the yellow box at the top actually read that the new forms will be available on October 11. Not sure why they changed it again.

On the top (yellow box) just copy pasted from there:

NO, all applications that will be submitted before October 11th will be assessed according to 4/6 without pre-PR credit. This is encoded in bill C-6 and not something that is at the minister's discretion or anyone else's.

Currently on CIC page
"Time you have lived in Canada
Regardless of your age, you must have been physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for at least:

• 1,460 days during the six years right before the date you sign your application
• 183 days during each of four calendar years that are fully or partially within the six years right before the date you apply"

It will be changing only on 11th Oct with new forms and Days Calculator for 3/5 rule.
