The applicant, a citizen of India residing in the UAE, sought judicial review of a visa officer's refusal of her study permit application to pursue an MBA in Canada.
The officer was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of her stay, citing concerns with her study plan, employment prospects, and weak ties to India and the UAE.
The applicant argued the decision was unreasonable and alleged a reasonable apprehension of bias due to prior visa refusals by the same office.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding the officer's detailed analysis in the GCMS notes reasonable and concluding the applicant provided no objective evidence to support her allegation of bias.
