Canada could face lawsuits for legislating end to immigration backlog
It seems Canada's immigration lawyers are gearing up for a fight against the Harper government.
As part of last month's federal budget, the government announced it will refund up to $130 million to federal skilled workers who applied to come to Canada before 2008 in a bid to get rid of a backlog of about 300,000 applications. Citizenship and immigration minister Jason Kenney claims the stockpile of applications have made Canada's immigration system dysfunctional. If it takes seven or eight years to render a decision, that person's skills may no longer be needed in the labour market, he said. So, in essence by eradicating the backlogs, the Canadian government is saying: "thank you for applying, thank you for paying us your filing fees, thank you for waiting, but we goofed by having an inefficient processing system." In 2003, a class action lawsuit actually prevented the Canadian government from creating regulations that would eliminate that year's backlog. There are now rumblings that the government could once again face the wrath of immigration consultants and denied applicants. Toronto lawyer Lorne Waldman said that more than 100 applicants interested in challenging the skilled worker backlog scrap contacted him. "I'm looking at all the legal issues arising and I expect that we will be taking legal action," he told Embassy Magazine. Immigration attorney Michael Niren says this is also an issue of fairness. "Our reputation as a fair and open country for immigration will be tarnished should this go though. 1000s of applicants who applied in good faith, made life altering plans for their future in reliance on our government programs will literally have the run pulled from under them," he told Yahoo! Canada News. "Doing this kind of thing in law to Canadians who have the benefit of our Charter of Rights Freedoms would be unheard of and not tolerated. But treating intending immigrants to Canada like "inventory on a shelf " who have little legal protection is fine in the eyes of this government." |

Another Amazing story
Former Prime Minister Joe Clark lauds Mulcair, criticizes Harper foreign policy
No one would use the term charismatic to describe former Prime Minister Joe Clark. He couldn't captivate an audience like Pierre Trudeau could, or charm political colleagues the way Brian Mulroney did.
Renowned journalist Peter C. Newman once said of Clark: 'he would never set the world on fire, except by accident.' Even without the gift of charisma, however, Clark was able to carve out an impressive political career that spanned over three decades. He was Canada's youngest ever Prime Minister - albeit for a short time - and went on to earn Canadians' trust and respect as foreign affairs minister in the Mulroney cabinet. In his post-political life, Clark hasn't sought out political attention the way Jean Chrétien has. So when Joe Clark speaks people listen. At a recent event organized by McGill University's Institute for the Study of International Development, the former prime minister shared his opinions about the Harper government and about the NDP's newly elected leader. Clark, who opposed the Progressive Conservative/Reform Alliance merger, says it's clear that the "strong and positive traditions" of the Progressive Conservatives have been forced aside. "It's certainly clear in international affairs, where its focus has been very narrow on the military and on trade," he said according to the McGill Daily. "Much of the emphasis upon CIDA, which had been upon actual development dealing with poverty, has been replaced now by a supportive role [in] trade arrangements, not necessarily in the poorest countries. "Our relations with many parts of the world where we had historically strong partnerships have deteriorated." Clark, 72, was also critical of Harper's dictatorial style. "I'm astounded, frankly astounded, by the degree to which Parliament and Cabinet acquiesce in following, without any apparent questioning, the prime minister's lead," he said in a rare display of candor. "Prime ministers have always been strong in our system, but almost all others have respected their parties and their parliaments more than Prime Minister Harper does." On the other hand, Clark says he's impressed with NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair. "I don't know [NDP leader Thomas] Mulcair, except to watch him, and I've been very impressed. I think, if he is a difficult personality, as some people say, this grueling leadership campaign was very good for him, because it forced him to come to terms with his critics and his challenges," Clark said. "And he's clearly able to take on a strong parliamentarian [like Stephen Harper]. I'm interested in his potential, and we'll just see what happens." source: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/former-prime-minister-joe-clark-lauds-mulcair-criticizes-203759869.htmlEdited by gspreet - 13 Apr 2012 at 2:08am |

Local immigration office staying
OTTAWA -- The Citizenship and Immigration Canada office in Winnipeg, which processes applications for immigration and visitor's visas is not closing, the federal government clarified Thursday. Confusion reigned this week when the Public Service Alliance of Canada was told CIC offices in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina and Lethbridge were all closing and being amalgamated into one office in Calgary. However, the office in question is actually a small administrative office that handles human resources, IT and a few other administrative tasks. A source from Immigration Minister Jason Kenney's office told the Free Press most of those tasks are mainly done by email and phone, so it makes sense from an efficiency standpoint to amalgamate them. Robyn Benson, vice-president for the Prairie region of PSAC, said 17 of its members in Winnipeg would be affected. The federal government said a total of seven positions will be eliminated from Winnipeg. The others will be offered work elsewhere. The CIC office in Winnipeg, which processes applications, is remaining and expanding. In early April the office landed responsibility for processing all the applications from the private sponsor refugee program. About 6,500 such applications come in each year and since April 1, all are handled at the Winnipeg office. Confusion arose because the information about what jobs are being eliminated as a result of federal budget cuts is coming in fits and starts, and almost exclusively from unions. The federal government itself is not making formal announcements about closures, such as the Winnipeg CIC administration office, or the Cereal Research Centre at the University of Manitoba. NDP MP Pat Martin said it's bad management and disgraceful for the government to be confusing people and leaving many public servants fearing for their jobs without reason. "If these cuts are such great ideas, state them and defend them," said Martin. "They're playing hide-and-seek with them." source: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/local-immigration-office-staying-147282985.html |

So now your true colors are out
Canada is better off without people like you. Take your "easy" money, stay out of Canada and spare Canada of people like you.
P.S. Can't really blame you. What output can be expected from corrupt policitians and a corrupt society like India. People don't want to fight...they will readily exchange 8 years of life with $$$
For people like you...
Na baap bada na bhaiya....sabse bada rupaiya. |

unfortunately we (pre feb 2008 applicants ) are not in a situation where we count others money.
The goal is to fullfil the dream and save the years wasted in wait.
No matter who is earning what. In other words nothing is Free here.

Thanks my friend CHD-YYZ for reading me right! Everyone has a right to opinion - right or wrong. We are fighting the injustice. Not with people fighting for it. We shall go forward - India or Canada immaterial!
