well that would be ideal... but i know for a fact that prior to 2009 or pre 2010 ( dont know the exact year) lot of PR files were returned along with application fees.. stating to apply in the new scheme which was faster and had changed from prior. Infact my parents had applied at that time and their file was returned after 3-4 yrs ( can be longer as well but definitely not less) which was the normal processing times during those times. .From my point of view..
All applications submitted prior the new government decision will not be affected.
My point is there any law this time around that prevents them from doing so again or can somebody sue the federal government for this ...
