Judicial review granted; IRCC work permit refusal unreasonable for failing to justify family ties finding and ignoring work experience evidence.
The applicant applied for judicial review of an IRCC decision refusing her work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
The Officer refused the application on the basis that the applicant had not demonstrated significant family ties outside Canada and had not shown the ability to adequately perform the work due to missing bank statements and tax returns to verify work experience.
The Federal Court granted the application, finding the Officer's decision unreasonable because it failed to account for evidence that the applicant lived with her parents and ignored the full evidentiary record supporting her work experience.
The matter was remitted for redetermination.
