Foreign millionaires have their day in court over Canada’s closure of popular immigrant program

In a Toronto court on Wednesday, the complainants' attorneys — Tim Leahy and Rocco Galati — argued that CIC failed to assess the files in the promised time frame, that the applicants' rights were breached and that applicants were denied equal treatment under the law.

Leahy told Yahoo Canada News that, while the government projected processing times of between 18 and 24 months, some of his applicants had been waiting much longer.

"I've got one person...who sold her hair dressing salon. She's been waiting, waiting and waiting expecting to come to Canada with no income," he said.

"Somebody else sent in an affidavit, again looking at the projections [of 18 to 24 months processing time]. She wanted her kid to go to Canadian university so she put him in Canadian schools in China. Now he's just about to graduate, he can't write an entrance exam in China because he didn't go to a Chinese school.

"And she bought a home in Vancouver with the expectation that they were coming here."

Vancouver skyline in the late 1970's and then the current skyline - I'd say there's been a fair bit of development.

When Farhan was a trained chimp working alongside Fat David Pratt on the Sports Machine, he bought me beer and pizza at the 1994 Grey Cup game.

I always used to phone in and lambaste the CFL and they gave me 2 tickets to go see the game.

Lui P kicked the winning FG right at me.....
