Federal Skilled Worker Class Action Lawsuit

[hopeful4]

From Bellissimo Law Group website, I got the following:
Quote:
Federal Skilled Worker Litigation
Test Cases to be Heard in Toronto January 14-16th, 2013

The certification motion has been adjourned with the consent of all parties pending decisions in the lead cases scheduled to be heard by the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto over three days from January 14th to January 16th. Bellissimo Law Group and Campbell Cohen will be making arguments in their lead case of Tabingo alleging the new law breaches section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as its implementation discriminates on the basis of country of national origin. We will be tweeting further updates and provide a full review in our upcoming newsletter.

هI think lawyers have asked the court to delay the decision on whether to turn the litigation to a class action only to draw more litigents till the 14th of Jan!!
Damen,,,is this really their interest?

Some days ago Jason Kenney stated that the processing times have dropped dramatically after the elimination of the backlog.

Today the processing times on the CIC have been finally updated, and guess what? there are even longer now!

I wish if the "honorable" Jason Kenny will explain now how the wait times have dropped?

No explanations are required. The only thing required is a better understanding of the data on your part.

The backlog eliminated cases prior to February 2008. All applications filed between November 2008 to June 2010 have clearly been processed faster.

Look at the chart, and take the Vienna office as an example. The applications of pre-2008 had waiting times of 62 months. After June 2010, the application processing times have dropped to 13 months. I don't about you, but I would say that's a pretty dramatic drop in processing times. The office in Kiev went from 8 years of processing time down to just 1 year - even more of a dramatic drop than Vienna.

When I look at that chart, everything is crystal clear for me. Why isn't it clear for you?

Why Tims motion is getting dust over it, any one have any anwer? As for every one under standing tims motion should have been resolved by now but why not yet, It creates shocks and suspense in mind.what happened to decsion made by Justice Rennie on his move.It is clear by now that Justice Rennei delivered judgement in this case has not been gone well with cic and other judiciary.Hope the positivity pervails in the judiciary system and right ful judgement appears in next few days week, months-----

Recorded Entry Summary
- 2012-11-23 Toronto Letter from RESPONDENT dated 22-NOV-2012 "The parties have not reached an agreement therefore an adjounrment of the hearing scheduled for Nov. 23, 2012 is not needed." (Please note: Letter was not received in Registry until 23-NOV-2012). received on 23-NOV-2012 with proof of service on the applicant

I cant understand this until now why Canadian judiciary exceed date of hearing day by day. First they say that hearing is on 23 and 30 Nov 2012, and now they said hearing is on 13, 14 & 15 of Jan 2013 for our cases. Why they prolong it so long?

Yes, your case was part of the large group that was cleared in the backlog.

My advice would be to wait until they begin accepting new applications, and apply again. The processing times will be much faster, and if you're in one of the worker categories which are currently in high demand, you could be processed in less than a year.

Tuyen, Is there any chance of laywers winning the littigation or Is it feesible for cic to agree all those files which have updated files in 2008.

To All, Please Just Something

I want to know all those who have made Updation & till date (More
than 3 1/2 years have passed on), whether CIC New Delhi may have
checked the files in details.

as i have Updated Documents in late 2008 allocated marks to each
section. i also recieved Ontario Pilot Backlog Project Invitation &
forwarded all my documents to them but till date i have not got any
invitation from them.

So can you please throw some light with your background knowledge as
what is the outcome of all those who have updated in 2008 from New
Delhi.

In next hearing what will be the output whether it will be class
action or lead management case. what can you predict from all these
about the future of litigation.

In India there was huge protest against prime minister visit. but
don't know what will happen in future about us.

Waiting for your prompt response.

You are qualified and do not need to file case or re apply in new immigration and you will get confirmation email after Nov 30 2012.

I think your application will be eliminated because CIC did not take a decision in your case before 29th of March 2012. You should send your visa office an e mail to inquire about the status of your file
