I'm sure some will disagree with this in principal but others will agree with my view (that return of service clauses violate the rights of Canadian citizen IMGs).
So... having heard many anecdotes but having no hard data or leads to go on, here's my query. Does anyone have specific knowledge of successful strategies or individual cases in which someone got out of a ROS agreement? Have any cases been taken to human rights tribunals, for instance? Or does anyone have knowledge of legal counsel working in favour of a resident manoeuvering out of a ROS clause? We all hear the stories but does anyone know the real status of legal (or other) challenges to ROS agreements, either nationally or provincially? I genuinely expect that ROS will fall at some point, having been successfully challenged in court or tribunal. And I expect that some cases are in process. Anyone know?
BTW, I'm no rabble rouser but I did win in a tribunal once, representing myself against a large, wealthy and well-represented (legally) organization. It took a year and a lot of chutzpah but I believed in my case and turned out to be right (in the view of the tribunal). I am serious about this query and am gauging the feasibility of proceeding along this path myself if no one else has. Of course, I don't want to repeat prior efforts.
If info seems sensitive, please PM me with details about law firms, cases etc that might be specifically helpful. Thanks.
