The legal pursuit of a Quebec immigration lawyer has led to the announceme of a 60-day deadline for Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Freicht to resolve long-standing delays in processing family reunification immigration cases or face the issue before the Quebec Supreme Court.
In this 60-day deadline, in addition to Quebec's immigration minister, Mark Miller, his couerpart in the federal governme, is also the target of criticism.
Maxime Lapoie, an immigration lawyer whose legal pursuits led to a 60-day ultimatum to Quebec's immigration minister, told RadioCanada that the average waiting time of 41 mohs for a Quebecer to review a case of “joining a foreign spouse” is unusual in Canada. It shows a large gap in the standard of service of immigration cases in the province of Quebec compared to the rest of Canada.
The average waiting time for family reunification cases in other Canadian provinces is about 12 mohs. The 41-moh waiting time in Quebec has caused more than 40,000 “family reunification” cases to be in the waiting line. The situation of these cases in the province of Quebec was bad enough uil the Quebec governme reduced the quota of these cases to 10,400 cases per year, and this caused a bigger crisis.
