The applicants sought an order of mandamus compelling the Minister to mail their permanent resident (PR) cards to their Canadian residential address rather than requiring in-person pickup.
The IRCC had approved their PR card applications and invited them to pick up the cards at an IRCC office, as the offices had reopened.
The Court found the application moot since the Minister had processed the applications and there was no refusal to perform a duty.
The Court also held that there is no legal requirement to mail PR cards to residences, as the regulations clearly mandate in-person attendance.
