100% true CIC always hurt innocent applicants. From 2011 to 2015 every officer was behind citizenship applicants specially whoever have stamps from middle eastern countries. They were issuing RQ as a wholesale dealer and kept innocent peoples waiting for 4 years. As i said before also this dept doesn't need funds because their employees are lazy and not qualified, what they will do with money, they doesnt wants to spent time on file, if any little doubt they are throwing file in non routine routs or secondary review. CIC needs major overhauling.mwabu1976 said:In the First appeal, I did not ask for about the financial relief. I focused with my lawyer on winning the appeal.
I requested financial compensation in the second hearing. The judge did not allow it because my case was against the Minster of Immigration and Citizenship and CJ is considered as independent from his Ministry.
One of my motives to not give up was to record that the CIC has made mistakes. If I just accepted their decision and applied again then all the officers and CJ worked in my application will look as if they doing good job catching unqualified applicants. As a result, they will hurt more innocent people thinking that they are good qualified people doing their job which is not true. When CIC records shows my application is approved after it was rejected by some people wasting the resources of the CIC, then this is an indication that somebody is not doing his job right.
Hopefully the CIC learn from cases like mine. In fact, I have the names of the CJ and the officers worked with my application. Seems to me most of them not in charge any more.
I have no problem to get an RQ and give documents to prove that I'm not doing anything wrong. I have no problem to wait little more so they confirm things are good. But I have problem with having unqualified people making applicants wait for tooo long so they do stupid mistakes and decision that hurts innocents applicants. Off course the first to blame with this situation is mr. Stephen Harper and his government.

I was about to post that - Toronto Star is the one you, mwabu1976, need to contact.ambient2 said:Did you try to contact The Star ? They have special section on immigration https://www.thestar.com/news/immigration.html

This is an example of sheer incompetence. People are shopping at Amazon, ebay and these websites come with various countries and domain names but that doesn't mean that applicant was there. bullShXitmwabu1976 said:Finally Canadian

It was less about lawyer it was victory of persistence. if lawyer was good, the first hearing would have resulted in favor.quasar81 said:BTW which lawyer was it? So as we know who has experience fighting such cases.
He said he used the same lawyer twice and won both times.CANADAPATRIOT said:if lawyer was good, the first hearing would have resulted in favor.
CJ Interview in second time should have won. If lawyer is good then even CJ thinks twice before providing bullshit findings.alphazip said:He said he used the same lawyer twice and won both times.
