Judicial review of visitor visa refusal dismissed; officer reasonably considered family ties and temporary status.
The applicants, citizens of India residing in the United Arab Emirates on temporary status, applied for visitor visas to Canada.
A visa officer refused the application, finding that the applicants' significant family ties in Canada and temporary status in the UAE reduced their ties to their country of residence.
The applicants sought judicial review.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding that the officer reasonably balanced the relevant factors, including the recent and limited nature of the principal applicant's establishment in the UAE.
