Today Canada had a federal budget. They are going to eliminate the immigration backlog by refunding the fees and closing the files. This does not affect the pre-June applications, in fact it may be good news for you guys in terms of freeing up resources.
The federal government will refund up to $130 million to federal skilled workers who applied to come to Canada before 2008 in a bid to get rid of a backlog of about 300,000 applications through legislation.

The Canadian Federal Government announced a plan to help immigrants convert their foreign credentials to Canadian standards.
Human Resources Minister Diane Finley revealed an $18-million pilot project which will assist Canadian immigrants to help pay for training, licensing exams and skills development. Ms. Finley explained that it can be difficult and expensive for foreign workers to get their credentials recognized in Canada. According to the minister, there are currently too many Canadians with international training holding jobs in Canada far below their abilities due to difficulties in getting credentials recognized.
The financial support will not be directly into the hands of the immigrants but will be managed by community resource groups in Vancouver, Saskatchewan and Ontario.
Also present at the announcement, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said "Too many of the licensing bodies have created procedures for accessing foreign credentials that are just too bureaucratic, too time-consuming and often unfair. All we are asking is that licensing bodies give newcomers a fair shot in a reasonable amount of time". 20 percent of Canadian immigrants prefer to work in licensed professions like dentistry, law and medicine, Kenney said.

VO was not processing pre Feb 2008 anyway. They were dealing MI2 on prioriry basis and were also dealing MI1 on requirement basis. Since we were not in the MI2 list, we were getting priority on need basis. Good that the proposed MI3 also is not going to have 1111 or 0111. The pace for processing our files is not going to change. But the pressure VO's had is no more there. The elimination of files, which we all were worried about has gone. Hope our files will be processed very soon. KDSTTL |

There is little political backlash against the deletion of the backlogged files, and since the Conservatives have a majority government the budget is sure to pass. If there was any plan to do anything more, say with the pre-Junes they would have included that in the budget measure so I think you are all fine.
