Good day,
As you may recall, there are two challenges FSW applicants, whose files s. 87.4 closed, have before the Federal Court of Canada. One is the so-called class-action, for which the appeal from the January 2013 denial will be heard on June 23rd. If the appeal succeeds, all closed FSW files will be re-opened.
The other is the one unfairCIC.com initiated in October 2011 and which resulted in victory on 18 June 2012 (Dong Liang). However, for those whose files s. 87.4 closed, CIC refused to honour the Agreement we had signed and filed with the Federal Court in February 2012. At CIC's request, Justice Barnes has at last verbally agreed to have our cases heard. The official word will come out in June for the promised September hearing.
On Wednesday, DoJ wants to see a list of the litigants who have joined the group – both those who joined before the Liang decision and those who joined afterwards. Therefore, if you wish to join, please do so in the very near future.
Regards,
Tim Leahy
