Skilled Workers: Federal Court Judge

Federal Budget Bill Dept: Over 800 skilled workers have seen their applications languish in a massive backlog that's set to be eliminated by the federal budget bill, according to CBC. That's because the budget bill is likely to pass before the case is over, meaning they would lose their applications and a federal court judge has quashed the hopes of hundreds of would-be immigrants seeking to force the government to review their files. They are suing the government over the delay in processing their files and had sought an injunction that would force the immigration minister to keep their applications open while the case is before the courts.
