The requirement for residency has been 1 year provisional, then 2 years permanent residency, leading to naturalization after 3 years total.
I'm hearing from some sources that the new laws passed last October are different and have increased the provisional requirement to 5 years.
Apparently, the change has not been implemented yet and the lawyers I have spoken with do not know when any change might be effectively implemented- migration isn't saying.
Anybody have any insight on this?
