Federal Court Canada and Russel W. Zinn

Federal Skilled Trades Program: The ruling opens the door for the class action lawsuit to proceed in court, according to Toronto Star. The defendants’ complaint, in my view, is a complaint that the plaintiffs’ pleading has ‘no basis in fact’ or is lacking an evidentiary foundation, wrote Justice Russel W. Zinn in his decision. This week, the Federal Court of Canada dismissed a motion by the federal government to crush the claims by more than 150 migrant construction workers alleging that the Federal Skilled Trades Program welcomes only English-speaking candidates when it comes to letting them stay on permanently. However, that will depend on the evidence gathered and whether or not it supports the material facts pled. But under the program introduced in 2013, they must pass a language proficiency test to qualify for permanent resident status. The workers from Italy, Portugal and Poland have been employed in Canada on work permits for at lseast two years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
