Decisions referred back

🍁 In Simple Terms

If a court sent a decision back to a minister or officer for redetermination under the old Act and that redetermination hadn't happened yet when the new Act came into force, the redetermination must now be made under the new Act. If the decision involved something the new Act no longer provides for, the redetermination follows the old Act instead.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada
