Intend to reside in Canada is essentially already in effect. If you don't want to live in Canada, don't apply for citizenship, pretty simple. Why do you want to become a citizen and live somewhere else anyway?!

I believe unofficially the intend to reside is already in effect. that's why they give everybody such a hard time by issuing all these residency questionaries for various reasons.
You answered your own question, every CITIZEN should have mobility right. You are not a citizen yet, so CIC can question your motive / intention before giving you citizenship.

The difference is that the applicant will still eventually get citizenship despite being given RQ under the old rule. Under the new rule, the applicant can be denied citizenship if he/she violated the "intend to reside" clause. Big Difference.
But I think that if you acquire citizenship and leave shortly after , CIC can take away your citizenship under the pretext that you made misrepresentation when you declared that you intend to live in Canada before acquiring citizenship. The new bill gives the minister of citizenship and immigration the authority to revoke citizenship by his own discretion.
Mobility right gives Canadian Citizens the right to live and work wherever they want. Nobody can take your citizenship away because you have decided to live somewhere else.
