yes and paid fees to Colin Singer.

Is Colin Singer on an appeal in your case right now or has your litigation come to an end already? If your appeal is still pending, you may wait for some more time for the refund to come. But if your litigation has already got over, then you should give a tight chase by sending reminders until you get your refund.

Thanks for your guidance. They are not answering my reminders, may be they become deaf in the name of refunds. some of my fellow litigants got refunds, despite the litigation are still in the Supreme Court of Canada after Federal Court. But those applied most of them got refund and I also applied in October 2014 but still waiting.

Q3. Is there any reason why I wouldn't get my fees returned?
The new law affects FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, did not have a decision based on selection criteria before March 29, 2012, and whose cases were not finalized by June 29, 2012. If an immigration officer refused your application before the law came into force on June 29, 2012, you will not get your money back.

Q4. How do I get my fee return?
Please submit this form (PDF, NaN undefined) including your current contact information. Upon receipt of your form, CIC's centralized task force in Ottawa will ensure the mailing address provided is used to mail your cheque. The cheque will be issued in the appropriate currency known to be cashable in your country of residence. The final amount will be based on the exchange rate on the date of cheque issuance.

Q5. How long will it take for me to get my cheque?
Given the number of people affected and the verification processes required to ensure due diligence, CIC expects that it will take some time to process all fee returns.

Most people should get their fees back within six months. There may be longer delays in some cases, such as if:

1. you live in a country where there are international banking restrictions,
2. the cheque we issued was lost in the mail or was stolen,
3. we need more information from you or the visa office to issue the fee return.

Note: CIC will not answer inquiries on the status of your fee return until six months after the day we get the completed form set out in Q4 above.

We will send you an email confirmation when your return of fees payment is issued.

If you have not received your cheque after two months from the date of that email, you may contact us by email. Any inquiries made sooner than this will not be answered.

We appreciate your patience. ;D

Q6. What if my cheque gets lost in the mail?
Please be assured that all the necessary steps in Canada will be taken to ensure that the fee returns successfully reach the intended recipients. However, we cannot be responsible for the mail delivery services of other countries.

If it has been more than two months since you got an email confirmation from us, and you have not received your cheque yet, you may contact us by email so we can follow up as necessary.

Anyway to deal with unfair treatment from local VO?

I mean, there are a bunch of applicants who are lucky enough to receive ME/MER after their files get received by local VO in a very short time, while still others have been waiting for 6 months or more without any update. When they check CAIPS reports, there are no background or other time-consuming checks, but the files just got stalled and they did not even know when the VO will open the files again! Why these people have to waste their lives on meaningless waiting just because the allotted VO does not give a **it on their cases?

What is that matter before the Supreme Court of Canada which might have a bearing on these proceedings?

So, our indefinite wait for justice continues, with the next stop-over scheduled for 12 May 2015. ??? :-X

 

[E and I]

Hi - I sent an aplication under the old system for FSW. My application was received on 30 Dec 2014. I am still waiting for a file number they cashed the bank draft 4 weeks ago - is this wait time excessive? how long should I wait before I apply under Express Entry (I have received an Invitation to apply under that route)? My LMO expires in June and am worried I will not have a file number before that to apply for a bridging visa.

Any advice?

I think there are sudden elections declaired in alberta province for may 5. as in india all decsions are held in election times, same is happening there. also supreme court case in tabingo case is in process to be decided for leave. all these factors are reasons for postponement. this is solely my own views.

1 sorry, maybe in India, but in Canada the courts are independent and keeping going during elections.

Dear All,

Here is Tim Leahy's latest email of today (10 April 2015) with the subject line "April 21st hearing postponed".

Good day,

Justice Campbell has decided to wait until the Supreme Court has decided whether to hear the Tabingo (the so-called class-action lawsuit over the closing of the FSW files) before hearing our case. He has, therefore, adjourned the April 21st hearing and set a meeting for counsel for May 13th to set a hearing date, if the Supreme Court declines to hear Tabingo.

Justice Campbell, who is, perhaps, the only Federal Court judge whom I trust, does not want to rule on the legality of s. 87.4 if the Supreme Court is going to do so itself because he does not want to render a different decision than what the Supreme Court declares. In addition, if the Supreme Court grants leave and declares s. 87.4 unlawful, he won't have to make any ruling at all because all the files will be open.

My own view is that the Supreme Court will not agree to hear Tabingo because it only accepts cases it considers to be important to Canadian law. So, I am sorry but we are going to have to wait even longer.

Regards,

Tim

p.s. Please do not ask me when the hearing will occur. I do not profess to be able to tell the future. Justice Campbell did say, however, that, if the Supreme Court declines to hear Tabingo, he will set our case down for a hearing as soon as possible.
