sac: I found a tweet by Kenney about Canadian degrees.

BTW, don't be pressured into filing just because Tim already filed for you. You can email him about your concerns first, wait for his answer, then make your final decision.
but this is not mention anywhere that canadian degree holders could file firstly while other have to wait for credential assessment... event they have not decide any agency yet for credential assessment...

It is logical that those who do not need assessment will file first,,,because others have to wait a couple of weeks until they get their assesment.

kulwantgill: While twitter is not the CIC website, what Kenney tweets, he does. Some details may be different in the final presentation, but you still read it first from Kenney's tweet.

hopeful4: If it's a Canadian PhD, your upcoming FSW application would probably be good to go. If not, let's just wait for the final guidelines. I would believe that one fee paid to the assessment agency will be valid for determining the extent of your education, but they will probably ask for all your records to prove it (diplomas and transcripts if we are to send it, or possibly transcripts only but direct from your school registrar/s).

hello hopeful4: so you are from Germany. I could say you must have an advantage over us from the Philippines since we are from the Third World country and the credentials of your educational institutions are considered at par with those of the other First World countries such as Canada. So you should not worry although you may stand for some improvement in your IELTS. I met some Asians who are non-native English speakers and they have difficulty communicating in English but they are there now in Canada as permanent residents

Hi guys,

Here is an update from Tim Leahy. This is his reply to a frustated litigant on the delay in Justice Barnes deciding on Tim's motion.

Justice Barnes prefers to have the litigants twisting slowing in the wind than to do his duty and have the motion I filed on June 29th decided. While the frustration is real and reasonable, please keep in mind (a) we cannot push the judge to act, (b) if we try, he can always just dismiss the motion, leaving you foundering, and (c) the litigation has taken far less time to date than the period your file had being warehoused before I launched the litigation. "If you have been hungry for a year, do not complain about one more day." So, be a bit more patient, okay?

Hi guys,

The following is the latest update by Tim Leahy in his UnfairCIC website.

FWS Processing

11 October 2012

Nothing significant has happened in our litigation. The motion, asking the Court to enforce the February 3rd Agreement, was rewritten at Justice Barnes request so that he could defer deciding the issue. All written submissions were in on September 13th. On September 27th, Justice Barnes testily said at a case management conference that the motion would be decided whenever he gets around to dealing with it; i.e., he has decided to keep everyone dangling as long as he can.

Because Justice Barnes on June 26th said that additional litigants may join the unfairCIC contingent, we have grown to over 1,300 litigants. CIC continues to object to the inclusion of additional litigants, and, if the motion-to-enforce is granted, the Court will have to rule on whether the ruling will apply to those who joined after June 14th. Those for whom the Court does not enforce the February 3rd Agreement will become a part of one of three successive litigation groups; viz., those whose files were assessed before March 29th or who applied between 27 February 2008 and 25 June 2010; those who were assessed between March 29th and June 29th; and those who applied before 27 February 2008 and did not have their files assessed by March 29th.
