According to MI or Ministerial Instructions in Bill C-50, CIC can process "post Bill C-50 applications" in any desired order, prefer and process faster some applications and ignore or delay others or terminate them without processing with refund of their money if they "applied on or after 27 February 2008." This was done to abolish first cum first serve order and also to give the immigration minister and CIC more powers in future so that further backlog is prevented and the persons with the skills needed in Canada in future are processed faster. But this was not done to get rid of pre Bill C-50 FSW backlog cases. Both were to be processed simultaneously side by side!
But those powers were not allowed to be applicable to pre C-50 cases who applied before 27 February 2008. CIC was not expected to delay those cases and was not permitted to terminate those cases under any condition at all! So, they were promised that their applications will be processed as per rules or instructions applicable at the time of their applications and they will be processed till final decision for sure! Otherwise, pre-27 February applicants would have started litigation at that time only and it would have become problematic for the CIC to get those powers in future also! CIC also agreed to all those condtitions at that time to avoid any litigation! But then it started processing new cases only and totally ignoring the pre-February 2008 cases!
Also, it was written in MI that the instructions must respect all previously established accords and agreements, including the Canada-Quebec Accord, and all agreements with the provinces and territories. This means it must be according to Canadian laws that previously established accords and aggrements cannot be breached. But instructions in 87.4(1)a IRPA of Bill C-38 fail to do so and clearly breach the previously established accords and aggrements with the pre C-50 applicants who applied before 27 February 2008!
That means it does not respect the previously established accords and agreements with them at all! Rather it was passed with intention or malicious intention to breech those previously established accords and agreements! Thus, it becomes illegal! It must be made mandatory that CIC must be made to comply with and respect all the previously established accords and agreements while making new laws! If it does not do so, that new law must be struck down with immediate effect!
So, 87.4(1)a IRPA of Bill C-38 is illegal and must be struck down! Federal Court of Appeal should do it with dignity!
All the lawyers of the various litigation groups or appeal should stress this in future court hearings!
