Federal Skilled Worker Class Action Lawsuit

[nbaloach]

My Credit card was charged on December 9, 2014 with regard to my application for Federal Skilled Worker received by CIC on August 27, 2014. According to my Bank, although the credit card was charged, no amount was claimed by CIC merchant bank. In the meantime, CIC attempted to charge the same credit card twice on December 19, 2014. According to my bank, attempts on December 19, 2014 could not succeed as the first charge on December 9, 2014 had already utilized 59% of the limit on my credit card.

Subsequently, Charge made on December 9, 2014 was reversed by the bank as per the bank policy, whereby limit is restored if the amount charged is not claimed by the merchant.

I have emailed to CIO a number of times, but no response, even after lapse of more than 30 days.

I fear that my application will be returned on the pretext of credit card declined.

What legal recourse I have at this point based on the fact that transaction on December 9, 2014 went through, but reversed as the amount was not claimed by CIC

Sorry to hear this unfortunate news. But legally you can not take any action against CIC, because to ensure that your credit card will function is your responsbility. If full amount required for processing of application is declined due to payment issue CIC is going to return back the application. But if before returning of application you have submitted the new payment form with new credit card details or ensured that in your card there will be sufficient amount you would be lucky that CIC will attempt again.

Its not my mistake, as I have clearly mentioned that the transaction on December 9, 2014 was successful and I have got full details of the transaction from my bank. Problem is the amount not claimed by CIC.

It usually takes about 30 days for them to respond to CSE. So wait and hope for the best. Good luck

I think that turn of your NOC is still not come. Because CIC usually doesn't take this much of time for completeness check. Either application returned and got lost in post office OR your NOC has still to be processed.

Hi friends,

The Tim´s updating.


Good day,

Yesterday, Justice Barnes finally did what he had promised last March to do: He granted leave and set a hearing date in both IMM-1-13, which is for those who joined before the June 2012 ruling in Liang, and in IMM-6828-12, for those who joined after the Liang ruling. In other words, all who placed their trust in me will have the issues of their cases heard on April 21st. (The judge will not be Justice Barnes but who it will be will not be released until after April 7th.)

The order, which is appended below, sets the steps we have to perform before the hearing. We will be able to adduce additional affidavits if we wish and will be able to examine the person(s) whose affidavit(s) they submit. I do not anticipate anything being required from you at this point. However, Rocco and I will discuss the case, and I will let you know if we need anything from you but I doubt that we will..

Thank you for the loyalty you have shown me and for your trust. Despite Justice Barnes' unethical conduct and the Law Society attacks, you have stood by me -- for which I am most grateful.

Best wishes,

Tim Leahy
