On March 21, 1960, up to 7,000 people converged on the local police station in the Township of Sharpeville, South Africa protesting the apartheid “Pass Laws” that required non-whites to carry their ‘pass books’ at all times. Police opened fire on the peaceful demonstration and killed sixty-nine people.

The horror of that day is remembered, and its significance is marked, every year on March 21st – The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states –

‘All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.’



Despite the work that has been done to eliminate discrimination, fifty-three years later, we are still fighting racial and ethnic discrimination whenever and wherever it occurs. Intolerance is unacceptable.



In Canada, our equality rights are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
Article 15. (1) –

‘Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age of mental or physical disability.’

For Canadians, this day is a time to reflect on how our diversity defines us as a nation.


What a day (or week) for our Judgement, I wonder is it by chance or else......

CIC is playing this game by luring people to to apply for refund by giving them assurance that they will be given priority in issuing of cheques.

A trap procedure do not allow in Canada. I believe there is no such practice in Canada.

The refund form is aimed for address clarification. Here, I quote the instruction from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-returns.asp

Please confirm your latest contact details by sending CIC this form(PDF, 1.4 MB). While we will also contact you by regular mail later on if we do not hear from you, communicating with us electronically is the best and easiest way to have your fee return processed.


If you send them the form, it was because of they instructed you in regard to the Law. So if this class action win and the law is shutdown, the refund process become illegal.

After this law, do you think that canadian government can be trusted. This is not a trap, but fraudulent behaviour of Canadian governemnt.When the matter is subjudiced, how come they ask people to take back their application fees. And again why refund to non litigants only, and why not litigants.

To Make you aware that these so called developed nations are not the one who follow high morals and ethics when it comes to cases of non nationals, I quote the on going "Italian marine case" in india, where the Italian Ambassador has done fraud by giving underataking to supreme court of India that "Marines will be back to India after casting their Ballot" and then informing the Indian government that Italy will not be returning the marines to indian authorities to face criminal charges in Indian court. AS a result of this action the Supreme court of India has directed the Indian Government to block Italian Ambassador from travelling outside India till the matter is resolved by court

Yeah.. this is a personal opinion. I have never seen any proof they do it in this case.

Some people question the same, that is way they go to court to question that such law. When the court give the decision, you will get the answer, so better do not imagine other thing that hurt your self.

How could you have this conclusion? Didn't you read all post in this thread? Do it then you will find that some litigants (including those who never send the refund form) report that they get the refund already.

The big question now is that, How sure are the Mi1,Mi2 and Mi3 backloogers will not be met with the same fate like we all did.

I see a Philippines applicant being denied a visa on the grounds that the Job scenario and the economic conditions are bad in Canada.

will that not apply for the MI applicants??? will CIC issue most of these guys the visas????

Dear Sir
CIC has submitted an affadavit in court that they will clear MI1 , MI2 and MI3 applicants. These are those unlucky applicants of Feb 27,2008 whoes files are returned.

this proposal of returning and closing files was tabled in 2008 at the eve of introducing MI1 , but minister was not able to impelemnt this.

I pray that Al Mighty Allah help every one

Kind Regards

By doing so, they would have clearly convinced the court that 87.4 is not targeting people from any specific country, hence no discrimination and no infringement of charter ( not that it applies outsiders ). Litigants are doomed and the lawyers will have a party for the money they made and will make for the appeal in the future.
IMHO, Pre 2008 should put it past them and look at other countries or try to get AEO or go as a student and then file under Canadian experience class.

yes, you can apply even if you have just 66 points which is below the min threshold.
engage the services of eminent lawyer like TIM who has many arrows in his quiver . He will get you PR. :P
you can see yourself in Canada from tomorrow
 
If you kill someone by accident could you say that I was not targeting anyone so I am not guilty? That's ridiculous. The result of your act is important not the intention. The result of section 87.4 is discriminatory not the intention of the minister.
