Hi,
Hope you all are aware that there was an amendment done to the CSQ selection points on 8th March 2017 by MIDI. According to the new selection points I know many of us who applied during the time of June 2016 and August 2016 intake were impacted.
I guess many of them might have moved on and currently going ahead with new plans to immigrate. Those who not yet received any update or still on " waiting for treatment' in your submitted application, there is good news for you all.
You might be eligible for a refund of you fee that you paid for the CSQ application if you became ineligible due to the amendments done to the selection gird.
Pasting the key points of the verdict below which was issued by the Superior Court of Québec on February 19, 2018.
You can contact the below mentioned lawyer who is in charge of this case for more information.
