It's a situation that immigration lawyer Guillaume Cliche-Rivard calls "dramatic and devastating."
"These people are selected by Quebec. This means they answer all the qualifications of the Quebec government," said Cliche-Rivard, president of an association of immigration lawyers, known by its French acronym AQAADI. "They were told green light."
"To put those families into that distress, it's inhumane and a lack of compassion," he said. "Some of them are waiting for spouses, separated from their kids."
I think after canceling that 18k application backlog at CSQ stage, they may think to melt down the files which are waiting at the Federal stage, as a favor or show off.
But most probably, to the best of my knowledge and belief, Ottowa (Federal Govt.) never takes these kinds of actions because Quebec Skilled Workers are the least significant crowd of applicants for them.
I am not comparing our cases with Express Entry at all, but we are the least desirable candidates, even less than refugees.
Sad but true.
