Hello friends
I would like to share the reply which i have received. The said mail is from private law firm and not from MIDI.
Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with an update on the status of your application. We are a private law firm completely independent of the Minister of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion. We are also not immigration attorneys so we cannot provide you advice as to what to do in your own circumstances.
The reason you received a notice on Mon Projet Québec is because you may be part of a group of individuals (a “class”) on behalf of whom the Superior Court of Québec recently authorized a class action. In this class action against the Minister, which our law firm is leading, we are seeking to obtain a reimbursement of the fees that people like yourself paid to apply for a CSQ. In 2013 and 2017, the Minister amended the
Regulation respecting the weighting applicable to the selection of foreign nationals to change the number of points given to people in certain situations, rendering some applicants ineligible for a CSQ. These are the people that form the class.
To help us determine if you are part of the class, please provide us with the following information and any supporting documents:
· How many points you calculated you should have received when you filed your application; and
· How many points you now expect to receive under the current version of the
Regulation respecting the weighting applicable to the selection of foreign nationals (located here:
http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/ShowDoc/cr/I-0.2, r. 2)
If you have supporting documents that you would be willing to share with us (application form, points calculation sheet, etc.) we would very much appreciate it. Any and all documents or information you provide us will be maintained confidential.
At this time, there is nothing else you need to do, as the trial in this class action has not yet taken place. This means that no reimbursement is available yet. A trial on the matter will likely be held in March, 2019.
The existence of the class action
should not affect your immigration application. In fact, you are only part of the class if your application is refused because of the effect of the new regulations. If you still have enough points to receive a CSQ, you are not part of the class and you will not be eligible for a reimbursement (but you may receive your CSQ). In that case, you do not need to do anything.
If you are a class member, we will maintain your email in our database in order to inform you about the outcome of the action. In the meantime, please visit

Thank you,
Olga Redko
