你再加拿大总督那一天签署的:Bill C-24 became law on June 19, 2014. 。 When will Bill C-24 take effect?
Bill C-24 became law on June 19, 2014. The majority of the Bill’s provisions took effect from that date onwards. However, for practical reasons some provisions will take effect at different times as determined by the Governor in Council. Applicants are advised to keep up to date with news releases from the Government of Canada for updates.
The following provisions took effect immediately from June 19, 2014:
The fast tracking of applications from the Canadian Armed Forces
The limitations on citizenship applications from those born abroad
The passage of citizenship from Crown Servants to their children, whether born abroad or adopted
Provisions on discretionary grants
The following provisions took effect from August 1, 2014:
The establishment of Citizenship Officers as the primary decision-makers in reviewing applications
The creation of an appeal process for decisions made by Citizenship officers.
The enhancement of Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (“CIC”) powers in determining what constitutes a complete application and what evidence is deemed necessary. The CIC is now entitled to put files on hold and abandon a file entirely at any stage of the application process if the applicant fails to provide requested information or attend an interview
The final group of reforms comes into force today, June 11, 2015, and includes the following:
new definition of the residence requirement as physical presence in Canada for at least 1460 days (four years) during the six years before the date of application for adult applicants (additionally, applicants must demonstrate physical presence in Canada for at least 183 days in a minimum of four calendar years in the qualifying period);
new requirement for adult applicants to declare their intent to reside in Canada once they become citizens and meet their personal income tax obligations;
expansion of the age range to 14 to 64 years of age for applicants who must meet language and knowledge requirements;
extension of citizenship to additional “Lost Canadians” who were born before 1947 but did not become citizens on January 1, 1947, when the first Canadian Citizenship Act came into effect (this will also apply to their children born in the first generation outside of Canada);
stronger penalties for fraud and misrepresentation (now a maximum fine of $100 000 and/or up to five years in prison);
designation of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) as the new regulatory body for citizenship consultants (only members of the ICCRC, lawyers or notaries can now be paid to provide citizenship applicants with representation or advice).
