Hi
No, it is the litigants claiming that the Gov't fees were higher than the cost of service. Under the FAA the Federal Gov't can't charge more for a service that it costs. That is one of the reason that the RPRF was lowered to $490.

Re: Did you see this Class Action?
Why would anyone need to compensate for the years they weren't in Canada? Sure, they did not contribute to public services, but they didn't use them either. Canada gets a very good deal out of immigrants as they mostly arrive ready to start work and pay taxes whereas those born here need a lot of money spending on them first.

Re: Did you see this Class Action?
the price that was paid, whether profitable for a Gov authority or not, must have been considered good value by the applicant, otherwise why pay it?
if the fee was paid and the application denied, then sour grapes abound!
gawd help us if speeding tickets are ever found to be contributing to a profit margin. as if!

Re: Did you see this Class Action?
It seems a bit odd. I got an automatic refund ages ago - did these people get overlooked?

Re: Did you see this Class Action?
I believe that refund was for the RPRF. This is about TWP application fees ( I think 
)
)
