Quebec immigration authorities have initiated the process of
implementing a Settlement Agreement reached in the class-action
suit filed by applicants to Quebec's
Regular Skilled Worker programme (QSWP).
The QSWP applicants had alleged that Quebec's Immigration
Ministry and the provincial government had acted in bad faith by
refusing to reimburse the application fees of those disqualified
due to
changes to the selection criteria introduced on August 1, 2013
and March 8,2017.
The Superior Court of Quebec authorized the lawsuit in February
2018 and approved the Settlement Agreement in its judgement in June
2019.
