Malasi v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2025 FC 10

Case Summary

The applicant, a citizen of Albania, applied for a temporary resident visa (TRV) to visit his brother in Canada for one month. A visa officer refused the application under subsection 179(b) of the IRPR, concluding that the applicant provided insufficient financial details and had weak emotional ties to Albania. The Federal Court allowed the application for judicial review, finding that the officer failed to consider significant evidence of the applicant's establishment in Albania, including business ownership and property. The decision was set aside and remitted for reconsideration.
