If we apply under the current application before Bill C-6 comes into effect in the Fall, will my 14 year old son be required to pass the citizenship test? The new regulations will only require 18 years +, but will that apply to him retroactively, if we apply before C-6 comes into full effect?

My understanding is if nothing in the new law says it will apply retroactively then it will not. To the best of my knowledge I can't recall such a thing. But maybe other people much more familiar with the texts of the law could answer that question.
