Federal Court: Citizenship And Immigration

Federal Budget Bill Dept: The plan, however, will not address the bulk of litigants involved in the case 670 of them as their applications are being eliminated under Bill C-38, the federal budget bill, according to Vancouver Sun. The Federal Court ruled that the government must process all the applications it takes into the system and that the delays, some going back nine years, were unjustified and oTTAWA Lawyers for Citizenship and Immigration have laid out the government's plan for processing some 165 applications for immigration that have languished for years after being ordered to do so by the Federal Court. The group successfully sued the government over processing delays just two weeks before the budget bill took effect last month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
