GREAT NEWS!!! RETROACTIVITY IS DEAD!!!
In a surprising move, Immigration Minister Denis Coderre announced on September 18, 2003 that Immigration was making substantial changes to its new Immigration Policy.
We are confident that our Court Action, along with a small group of other lawyers who joined together to fight this retrospective application, helped the Minister make this decision. We were a decisive voice, and the Minister was forced to re-examine Immigration policy and to work towards creating a more equitable system. We are pleased to see the Minister make these changes, and hope that it will enable skilled workers to make Canada their new home.
How are pending applicants affected?
Applicants who filed before January 1, 2002 will be assessed under the former regulations. This is what we filed our Court Action to achieve. The Minister announced that, "This represents another step in our efforts to bring a fair end to the old system."
Furthermore, in an even more surprising move, the Minister announced that the new pass mark is a much fairer 67, replacing the former 75-point pass mark. The Minister stated that, "Lowering the pass mark will make it even easier for Canada to attract skilled workers businesses need, while continuing to ensure that newcomers can thrive quickly in their new environment." This pass mark will apply to all claims that have not yet received a selection decision.
How are refusals pursuant to IRPA affected?
For those cases that have been refused erroneously pursuant to IRPA, we will request that those files be re-evaluated in light of these developments. That means for applicants who filed before 2002, we will ask that your case now be determined pursuant to the old rules. For those cases filed after 2002 and refused under the 75-point pass mark, we will ask that those files be reopened re-evaluated pursuant to the 67-point pass mark. This means that many people who were previously denied may potentially be granted Canadian immigration.
This is a great victory for both skilled workers and Canada. We have fought for over two years to ensure that foreign workers have a fair chance of immigrating to Canada. This victory is a great step in that direction.
