Judicial review of work permit refusal dismissed as officer's findings on family and financial ties were reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision refusing his application for a work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
The visa officer refused the application on the basis that they were not satisfied the applicant would leave Canada at the end of his stay, citing insufficient family ties, a lack of financial establishment in his country of residence, and a failure to demonstrate he could perform the work.
The Federal Court held that while the officer erred in assessing the applicant's ability to perform the work, this error was not determinative.
The Court found the officer's conclusions regarding family ties and financial establishment were reasonable based on the evidence provided.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
