  1. Hi I got a question regarding citizenship residence calculator. My PR was granted on 19th May 2017 while I was overseas for business. I then returned to Australia on 21 May 2017. When I tried to enter each trip overseas in the last four years, the calculator says PR date cannot occur during trip therefore I could not enter this trip as it is in the calculator. (should be 10/05/2017-21/05/2017 however the calculator only allowed me to enter as 10/05/2017-19/05/2017 due to abovementioned reason) Does anyone know if this will affect me eligibility (Assume I meet the residential requirement) to apply for the citizenship ? Is there any restriction travelling on PR granted day ? Thanks in advance. Cheers Elliot
  2. I will be eligible to apply in May 2018 under the current rules - does this mean I will still be able to apply in next May if the amended one passed ?
  3. Assume this does not mean the bill can therefore be passed ?
  4. Just to clarify - It was 3 years on TR + last year as PR = 4 years Now Four years on PR (if someone had been in this country on student visa for 10 years and finally got their PR this year, they still have to wait for another 4 years.) Different people find different inconvenience the new law brings to them. Could be subjective when it comes to say which one makes more sense than the others. For instance, I personally think it's fair to ask people to have good English (if they have decided to stay in this country for good) regardless of their original cultural background while some might find it too harsh. However, I personally think four years PR residential requirement ridiculous as it somehow makes me feel efforts spent on integrating with this society in the past few years not being recognised. Overall, if all elements of this citizenship overhaul make sense it wouldn't have been derailed... But we can't do much as it's to be decided by the upper house. Let's wait and see.
  5. it means time spent on TR doesn't count though. I would only have to wait for another few months to be eligible to apply for the citizenship now may have to wait for another few months + three years That is the difference.
  6. Looks like the ridiculous four years residential requirement will still get passed...
  7. Guys, I am glad to share my great news with you all. I am currently overseas but my boss called me to inform me that my PR has just been granted. My occupation was removed last month so I was very nervous. Thank you all in this Forum for sharing information and providing mental support. I am flying back to Australia tonight. Wish you all get your PR soon! Cheers Elliot
