BACKLOGGERS LITIGATION

[courageous]

Dear,
We must wait for 6 june. The court will give judgement in favour of backoggers,because ,they stated in
their first letter that process will not occur prior to 36 or 42 months.But elapsed 60 months,there is no
response,so, it is our right to file case for justice and we will get positive verdict. I am 100% hopeful in this
matter. Please, reply.
Thanks

As per the info only those who are participating in litigation their files will be processed if approved by CIC.. seems others have to still wait is this true ?

 

[kchakus]

Written Arguments provided to the Court and Department of Justice(DOJ), CIC

1. The Court should either order CIC to commence or resume processing the file to decision; or, alternatively, CIC should be directed to provide a date certain for doing so.

2. The applicant had a "legitimate expectation" that CIC was being honest when it told
a. Class I applicants that files are processed on a first-in, first-out basis and
b. Class II applicants that their files would be finalized within a year;
and, therefore, CIC should be ordered to do what it had promised to do.

3. The Court should prohibit CIC from refusing any litigant under selection criteria or a pass-mark not in place when the application was lodged (because the Minister has said that he will change the selection criteria configuration before the end of the year).

Let see the response of CIC w.r.t the above arguments by the litigants

unfortunately "others" may not get the opportunity to wait.....
it is most likely the backlog will be dismissed without being processed

Dear SP88,
I would like to say that do not discourage us please.We are waiting for 5,6,7,8. years. We need justice
, and it is our right to apply for justice to court.
Thanks

dear Khalidhaider

the "others" in my post refer to the non-litigants who have faith in the CIC to process their files and want to wait

you seem to have missed the irony in the post

 

[khalidhaider]

Dear O.K Thanks

 

[omoba7]

This is a good development, once CIC starts getting court cases and litigations left right and centre, then they would start employing more staff at the VO to clear files as this would be cheaper for them than employing solicitors and paying damages to applicants.

This is a very bad news for old applicants and we all have to support the aggrieved parties.

There are followig points from my side for legal case:

1-Why the minister did not look at the backlog pool applicants for professions in demand before picking the categories for professions in demand for M1,M2, M3.??This is huge negligence on thier part.

2-If the minister had taken this decesion to return the back log applicants in June 2010,before the announcement of M1, M2, M3
categories , the old applicants could apply in new categories, but now they cannot apply as thier categories have dropped from the lists ,by doing that the minister has spoiled the future of old applicants which is not totally thier fault.This fact should be put before the parliament.

3-what a huge comparison that at one side the immigration department of canada has admitted that thousands of immigrants have obtained canadian nationality by Fraud in past and the department has done nothing against them whereas on the other side there are innocent applicants before 2008 who are waiting since 6-7 years and want to contribute to canadian economy by fair means , but without thier fault they are being punished.

4. I think a competent lawyer should win this case. Because in Uk it was happened in "Judicial Review" in HSMP cases.

REPLY OF LETTER FROM MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
=================================

Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me with your concerns about the decision to return all Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications that were made prior to February 27, 2007.

I agree that this approach is grossly unfair to people who have been planning to make a new home in Canada. The people who are affected have followed all the rules, done everything we have asked of them and waited patiently, for up to 8 years, for us to uphold our part of the bargain.

Legislating away the backlog in this manner is an admission of failure on the part of the Government. Instead of addressing the backlog, the Government is simply pretending it does not exist. This policy essentially allows those who applied since early 2008 to queue jump ahead those who applied before. This is not fair.

Recently, the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration conducted a study and made several recommendations on how to reduce the backlog of applications. We proposed several prudent and sensible ways to address the massive backlog. The Minister has chosen to ignore all of these proposals and proceed with a scheme that will destroy the plans and dreams of thousands of people who have prepared make Canada their home.

Thank you again for taking the time to express your concerns. If you have not already, I strongly suggest you write to Minster Jason Kenney and the Prime Minister to let them know your objections.

Warm regards,

Don
