The applicant, a citizen of Cameroon, applied for judicial review of a visa officer's decision denying her application for a study permit.
The officer found the applicant would not leave Canada at the end of her stay and lacked sufficient financial resources.
The Federal Court held the decision was unreasonable, as the officer improperly used a lack of travel history as a negative factor and made findings regarding the applicant's financial circumstances and guarantors that contradicted the evidence.
The application for judicial review was allowed and the matter sent back for reconsideration.
