Any objective, rational, intelligent examination of this issue leads you to the same conclusion time and again - namely, that the whole system is a mad hatter's tea party, run by retards.

Conversley the same would harm applicants in the waiting line now. I hate it, many hate it but read all the threads on the immigration section of this forum under the word retrospective Canada etc..

This question might be better asked on the Canadian immigration forum. Some agents there, like Andrew Miller, have clearly stated that retroactivity is possible under the IRPA passed in 2002. Apparently it wasn't so clear-cut under the old law, hence the court action.

The court action might be the reason why processing times are increasing now - not only is there a low passmark but CIC offices are having to devote resources (and visas) to pre-2002 cases.

At the end of the day - if it gets to a stage where there are 500k or so applications backlogged in the system, and only 100k or so visas available per year, then something has surely got to give?

One thing to bear in mind is the fact that the visa officer in question handling your case [ anyone's case] has considerable discretion in evaluating your application, irrespective of the points total you have at any given time - all of which, of course, only adds to the confusion of the entire issue...
You couldn't make it up if you tried.

Don't answer my posts, then they can't charge you with collusion. I was gonna say they can't do anything to me, but upon reflection, they could probably have me 'whacked'.
We don't have black helicopters, but the US Emperor would lend our Govt. one, & BAM! There goes everyone over 70.

We are coming up for our 1 year from AOR and I cannot countenace a wait like you are having!!!!

Morw :(

Hi, To get your CAIPS notes use www.pricanadaimmigration.com. I highly recommend them. I got mine from them and all my friends are also very happy to get their's. :)

Errr..... thanks; but I was not considering obtaining CAIPS file at the present.

I merely asked if the OP had considered sending for theirs as they have had to wait so long.
