Anyone from Pre 2008 have been notified for refund

[nom018]

I applied Nov. 2004 got refused sometime 2010 but I filed an Application for Judicial Review and ultimately won. The Federal Court of Canada judge specifically ruled to prioritize the facilitation of my application, he even mentioned to put me ahead of the line and should be process first. I was given a new file no. last Oct. 2011, had our medical exams last Jan. 2012. It has been six months since we had our medical exams, I have yet to receive a PPR (passport request).

I think they temporarily took the wait & see attitude due to the situation at hand such as the proposed refund of pre Feb. 2008 applicants & Bill C-38. I just hope that a visa will be issued before our medical expired.

I have a strong feeling that the temporary pause in accepting new FSW applicants is a good sign that they will process some of the pre Feb. 2008 applicants. Let's keep our fingers cross .

Because I think Pre 2008 policy for english profeciency, IELTS is not a must. As long as you pass them alternatives proof of english profeciency docs. IELTS is one of the option if I'm I not wrong

hi, i have not contact from my agency in Paranaque since 2007. they just mentioned to me to wait. although my application was already in the system. I applied last March 2007 and recieved our AOR last May 7, 2007. My agency did not asked to take IELTS immediately, they mentioed to wait. until now Iam still waiting for the results. Hopefully all will go well as we have waited for so long already.

To wait for CAIPS NOTES would be a torture because most people could receive bad news or keep false hopes while waiting... I think these two links explain everything...

To my understanding all those who meet (those who have passed the selection criteria (67 points awarded) will be processed until final decision... this is my humble opinion and those are the approximately 20.000 cases that are safe from this decision...

Good Luck Everyone !!!

I'm also one of the unfortunate PRE FEB 2008 applicants, and here is what i got in an email from my attorney today.

The legislation that allows the government to terminate your application has now become law. However, the government has agreed to not destroy files or initiate the refund of processing fees for 90 days. Within the next 90 days (probably in September) we will have our first day in Court. We will be asking the Court to certify our cases as a Class Action. If we are successful at that stage then we would expect another Court date, before the end of this year, at which time we would likely have our opportunity to argue the reasons why we feel the Court should strike down the part of the law that would allow the government to terminate your application and request that the Court order the government to continue processing your application
