About the document
What it covers Consolidated s. 9 (naturalisation), incl. s. 9(3) reduced residence for investors.
Notes PDF metadata: author 'pmo', created 26 May 2003. Its s. 9(3) reads '5,000 US dollars', which conflicts with the 1999 amending Act (USD 500,000) and is probably a transcription error in the consolidation. Annotations list amendments only up to 1995, so the consolidation may not include the 1999 Act properly. The current official text was not obtained.
