注意:加拿大移民局在2003年已经通过法律确定了新法追溯旧案的合法性。因此,如果71以后,移民局要用新法的标准来审理91,完全合法。律师已经对此表态。
律师表态:
Please keep in mind that, although many believe that I won the case in 2002 where I challenged CIC's intention to apply the now current selection criteria with a 72-point pass-mark retrospectively, I actually lost on the legal issue but, nevertheless, the Court ordered CIC to make selection decisions on our 102 litigants before the new rule went into effect five weeks later; see below. Thus, CIC may if it chooses apply these new criteria on pending files.
