Citizenship And Immigration Canada: Legal Notices

Application Fees Dept: The notices, filed with the Federal Court of Canada, are asking Citizenship and Immigration Canada to process their applications within a reasonable time frame, according to The Star. These people paid the application fees, but immigration has never even started processing their applications, said Tim Leahy, one of the lawyers representing the litigants and more than 300 people around the world awaiting immigration visas have filed legal notices against the Canadian government, claiming they are being warehoused in a lengthy backlog. The litigants, some of whom applied as far back as 2004, accuse CIC of violating a pledge to assess and finalize decisions in a timely fashion. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
