Hi Everyone, please advise, I can now access my ECAS after several months of not being able to. My ECAS only reflected my complete name and my home address, but the status is now blank instead of in process as reflected before prior to the elimination. May I know what does this mean. Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you.

I expect DoJ to scream bloody murder about this case and try to get it pushed back under Justice Barnes' thumb. However, I intend to file a motion on June 3rd, to be argued in open court, asking that (a) leave be granted in IMM-1-13 and (b) IMM-1-13 be the lead case in a class-action for which the class consists of those who are a part of the Emam contingent. That hearing would not occur until June 10th at the earliest.

Any Information ,what happened on 3rd of june & 6 th of june.

Hi Hopefulever,
Are you from Emam's group?

I think I read somewhere that old/dead applications get removed from ECAS after a period of time as part of "house-keeping". If it's not visible any more, I think it's gone forever.

Dear All,
The termination of Pre Feb. 2008 Backlog Applications/Refund of Fees seems to be frequent these days.

Are there backlog applicants from Accra Visa Office who have received communication of termination/refund of fees? Is there anyone whose application is terminated/refund of fees communicated been able to log on into ecas before the termination?

Was your case still showing in ecas before the termination/refund communication? I'm curious.

Over the Globe... pre-june 2008 cases as they dont want to see backlog any more

Send back all Refund letters with rejection, ask CIC if its Unwilling / Unable to process our files. If they are unable or unwilling than the quantum of refund will be agreed by the victim and the court, CIC has no hand in dictation terms.

And how exactly do you think this is going to work? Only a Canadian court would have any jurisdiction over CIC and you have no grounds to try and alter the amount of the refund. All that CIC is doing is returning the owed debt to zero. This is not compensation, so don't get the two confused. I have no idea what would happen to any claim if you refuse the refund. CIC might consider the matter closed as it has made the offer and has been told that you don't want the refund. At this point, for the vast majority, the refund is the very last step in the chain of events, not a negotiation point. The application is terminated "by rule of law", so telling people to refuse the refund will just leave them poorer.

There is still a disconnect between what some (many?) people feel or understand, as against what is actually happening.

CIC is just following the law. For them, all backlog files have been terminated, and they are to process refunds for those files now. While it is true that there is still litigation, the law is still there for them to follow, and there is no order from any court to do otherwise. It is unfortunate that all of us have spent time, money and effort to support our individual files. That is certainly a black mark that the proponents and supporters of the law want to ignore, and that is the risk that we applicants took in filing an application.

As for compensation, there was none in the Emam decision, so I don't expect any in case of a victory in the Tabingo case. There is nothing wrong if one does not want to fill up the address form at this time, but if the FCA and the SC both deny applicants' appeals, anyone who does not fill up that form has only himself to blame if he does not get a refund.

Let me reiterate: For CIC, it is just a job. They are doing their jobs. If anyone sends back a blank or invalid refund form, they will probably just put it back into one's file, which will get destroyed on June 30, 2014 if the courts do not rule in our favor. Whatever we feel doesn't matter to them as they are just following instructions from above.

I have been sent the refund form to be filled and sent back to the Newdelhi Canadian High commission a couple of days ago.

I am a litigant and want to wait for one last final decision by the court.

need your advise...

Hi pranx125

It doesn't matter if you was a litigant (challenged 87.4 ) but yes if you filed appeal then it makes sense to wait.

CIC is not in a position to bring its debt to zero. They have kept applications on hold since the last nine years, and payback time will come inevitably. CIC is trying its best in playing the victim in this issue. The FC has just dismissed the case because the Judge knew that this matter will eventually end up the in SC. The only and best thing is to reject the offer for a refund so that CIC doesn't get away with what they've done.

OK, do it your way but I suspect that you are wasting your time and effort. CIC doesn't care about your "protest". They have been told to do this by their political and legal masters. They don't need to "play the victim". Please don't give bad advice to others that could cause them to lose any chance of a refund now or in the future.
