Judicial review granted where officer assessed permanent residence application on a clearly incomplete evidentiary record.
The applicant sought judicial review of a migration officer's decision rejecting an application for permanent residence for his three adopted children.
The officer concluded there was insufficient evidence the adoptions were genuine and not for acquiring status under the IRPA.
However, the Certified Tribunal Record (CTR) was incomplete and did not contain the full response to a procedural fairness letter.
The Court found the officer breached procedural fairness by failing to seek clarification about the missing documents, which were crucial to addressing the officer's concerns.
