i feel they will reject the applicants on case by case basis...such as jd MISMATCH or sum stupid reason..(might be there new method and policy to reduce back log)...
hope for the best...
cheers!!!!!
There are 900 other individuals who also litigate with him.
And then there are over 200K pre 2008 applicants.
If one person won the case this will open doors for the rest to challenge their cases.
This is all good news on first thought.
The question is:
if others challenge as well (as they must) and get similar rulings, ofc this will add to existing queue. With judge setting a definite deadline, to meet the verdict the resources will have to be directed to it.
And here is my question - what will happen to the rest of us?
Our case was pending since 10/2010.
At the time it was suggested that all cases submitted under MI2 would be processed within 12 months.
It turns out that more than a year and half later we have paid all fees (including RFPR) , passed medicals , submitted new PCC - all this to wait another 3 months for nothing. And now they are going to start clearing a backlog of pre 2008?
I am happy for anyone who wins litigation and gets fair outcome and decision.
The problem is that CIC has no plans to add staff, it just downsized and closed various consulates all over the world.
We happen to fall under NYVO jurisdiction (so do many of former Buffalo back loggers whose cases were accepted but never processed).
So, all this really means to us is that we will be forced to wait another few years , just like they did to pre-2008 applicants and then we will either be forced to file a suit or else get our own apps back under the similar pretext.
I am starting to get disappointed with Canadian immigration system and seriously looking for other places to immigrate. I am not going to wait another 4-8 years before they decide to get our files from a dust-bin.
The way CIC works is it makes very clear they have no intention to process our cases at all, and only do so when forced (and you can only force them to do something if they failed to act for 4-10 years).
SIGH.......... Canada also succumbed to third world standards....
