Judicial review of TRV refusals dismissed as visa officer's assessment of ties was reasonable.
The applicants, who are impoverished and disabled Pakistani nationals, sought judicial review of a visa officer's decision refusing their temporary resident visa applications.
The officer was not satisfied they would leave Canada at the end of their stay due to their strong family and financial ties to Canada and lack of ties to Pakistan.
The Federal Court found the officer's decision was reasonable, noting that the applicants had strong emotional and financial ties in Canada and no real financial incentive to return to Pakistan.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
