Undecided landing applications from Convention refugees under the old Act became applications to remain in Canada as a permanent resident under the current one. The same conversion applied to the undocumented Convention refugee in Canada class and to people found to be post-determination refugee claimants. Nobody had to start over, the file changed category and kept moving.
