Update on the Challenge to the Quebec Skilled Worker Program

A decision has been rendered in the immigration case of Stasenko v. MICC et al, , which we wrote about previously here. The case was a challenge to the government of Quebec’s decision to apply changes to the Quebec Skilled Worker Program’s eligibility criteria retroactively, after promising that it would not.

Suffice it to say, on April 21, 2015, the Superior Court of Quebec made a decision in favour of the plaintiff and ruled against the government of Quebec. One of the lawyer’s party to the case has provided a good summary of the case and decision here.
