the CanadaVisa Team - 31 August, 2013
The lawyers are asking the Quebec Superior Court to declare the amended regulations null and to stay their retroactive application until a judgement on the merits is made.
The Quebec government and the Quebec Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities enacted new regulations that came into effect on August 1st, 2013, the combined effect of which significantly changes the way points are calculated under the Quebec Skilled Worker category. The government intends for the amended regulations to be applicable to new and pending applications that have not begun preliminary processing by August 1, 2013. Tens of thousands of pending applications will be affected and a large majority of them will most likely be refused, if the government has its way.
Stay tuned for updates as the case proceeds.
