Official publication will occur tomorrow. You have 30 days to get your comments in. This is what the government is actually proposing:

Description

Citizenship and Immigration Canada proposes to introduce amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations specifying that, under the family class or the spouse and common-law in Canada class, a spouse or a common-law or conjugal partner who is in a relationship of two years or less with their sponsor at the time of sponsorship application would be subject to a period of conditional permanent residence. The condition would require that the sponsored spouse or partner remain in a bona fide relationship with their sponsor for a period of two years or more following receipt of their permanent residence status in Canada. Only cases targeted for fraud would be reviewed during the conditional period. Permanent residence could be revoked (leading to initiation of removal) if the condition of remaining in a bona fide relationship was not met. For all other cases, the condition would be automatically lifted after the specified conditional period had elapsed. Beyond the requirement to satisfy the condition, the conditional permanent residence would not differ from permanent residence.

Given concerns about the vulnerability of spouses and partners in abusive relationships, a process for allowing bona fide spouses and partners in such situations to come forward without facing enforcement action would be developed if a conditional permanent residence period were introduced.

That would be awesome!!!

Really, quit worrying about whether they have or they haven't. They haven't yet, so what is the point of worrying? And if they do get around to implementing it, what can you do to prevent it? Nothing. So, what would have been the point of worrying?

This conditional visa almost sounds like what a spousal visa used to be. Any input?

"It shouldn't bother genuine couples at all" is bad lie.

Only way to do this without effectiing genuine couples is cic has already identified the frauds, if cic is able to identify the frauds before issuing visas, they wouldn't bother making this "conditional PR". They're just giving themselves 2 years to fix the mistakes they might make at first place.
