@dao.c as far i guess all who applied after those dates has got a PFL to br submitted. And i got to know whoever filing a new case is directed to PRA. So all the 30K plus who applied go the letter. We have to wait and see how they are going to respond. Some lawyers are saying after pfl submission some will get accepted and others will have to go through PRA.
Bill C-12 Ineligibility Thread
- Thread starter dao.c
- Start date
All ineligible claimants should be getting the letter. The processing might be taking long.
As far as I know, many people started receiving letters last week, while some are still waiting. It’s just a matter of IRCC processing time. If you’re ineligible under the new rule, it’s better not to focus on the letter and instead concentrate on preparing a strong PRRA, since you’ll have a very short time to submit your documents.
Yeah, had few discussions and most say that submitting a letter for PFL will not make much difference. Better work on PRRA or H&C if you qualify
You are right.
In the PFL letter, IRCC states "Only information or evidence pertaining to the circumstances of your entry to Canada, as it relates to the applicability of subsection 101(1)(b.1) of the IRPA, will be considered."
It means they will primarily assess whether the entry details in the PFL such as your first entry date and location are accurate, and are unlikely to consider arguments outside this scope.
If you believe that the one-year bar on eligibility and the retroactive termination of your claim violate section 7 of the Canadian Charter, you may seek judicial review in the Federal Court. However, these cases are complex, and success typically requires a highly skilled lawyer, which can be very costly.
Yes, they clearly asks only about the entry dates. We cant explain anything beyond that.
Federal court challenge seems like a failed experiment! Lawyers would want to take fees for that, and then for PRRA application! If the chances are really low for federal court, then why bother? Better target time and resources for the PRRA, right? Also, if one's country is on the ADR list, maybe not consider federal court at all?
