Toronto Star – This Family’s Immigration Application Was ‘In Process’ for 57 Months. Now a Judge Has Given Ottawa 30 Days to Make a Decision
Abdulrhman Taskia had been kept in the dark by immigration officials for almost five years, not knowing why his family’s permanent residence application was taking so long. Finally, in February 2020, the Toronto man asked the Federal Court to do something about it and push Ottawa to expedite his case. Last month, in a rare ruling, the court agreed the 57-month wait in the queue was “unreasonable” and ordered Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to render a decision in 30 days and to pay Taskia’s family $1,500 in costs.

Ottawa says it will bring 20,000 Afghan refugees to Canada, but has not provided a timeline, as Taliban forces continue to rapidly expand their control over the war-torn country.
