Mr Miller and Other Experts ... Please Help
I posted this earlier but got no responses so I want to seek help directly from the experts. Please .. I am hoping to get some advise regarding my case. Here goes:
November 2001: Submitted immigration application for skilled worker in Manila
January 2002: Received acknowledgement and file number from Canadian Embassy
May 2002: Received notice of a need for interview with waiting period approximately 36 months
Early 2003: Received notice that interview cannot be scheduled before April 1, 2003 hence application will now be subjected to new selection criteria under IRPA
The notice also advised me to assess my qualifications under the new selection criteria to determine if I still meet the new immigration requirements. If I do and still want to pursue my application, I need to provide additional information.
Upon self assessment, I still met the new requirements so on May 2003, I submitted all the new documents they require. I haven’t heard back from the Embassy since then until I received a notice from them last December 2004 stating that I am affected by the Rasolzadeh class suit.
My questions:
1. Is my application taking a “normal� processing time? Or being affected by the Rasolzadeh case stretched my processing time?
2. I am planning to opt-out of the case since first, I still qualify under the new selection criteria. Second, I already submitted additional information satisfying the new criteria. And third, if I agree to be part of the class suit, expected processing time will be 2008 since I applied in 2001. I don’t think I can wait that long. Is this a sound/right decision?
3. On the benefits if the class suit prevails – will the affected applicants assured of application approval or just assured of a review of their application within the timeframe specified and they can still be rejected?
Appreciate any feedback/leads. Thank you very much!

I do not think it would be wise to opt out because there is no guarantee of faster processing that way either.
Thanks for the feedback Jim.

Hi Jim
The Dept. knew exactly (or close) how many applications were in the backload, and how long it would take to clear, but it was the Minister and the Deputies who didn't want the truth and made their own estimates as the wanted the legislation through without any problems or delays.

for the "rasolzadeh Class" if there is no guarantee of success and it takes more 4 years, then what is the advantage of the proporsal?? i mean i see no differance if one opts out, only the time limits till 2008, and it won't take such along time anyway.
please share you information with me. because i really confused about that.

But favourable would only mean in terms of the new requirements, right? Not really expediting the entire process except that you are assured that your application gets processed within 2008? Well, its not as if 6 years is better, but lesser of 2 evils"?
