The applicant, a citizen of Russia, sought judicial review of a Visa Officer's decision refusing her application for a study permit.
The Officer had concluded the applicant would not leave Canada at the end of her stay, relying on her strong family ties in Canada, lack of employment ties in Russia, and the stated purpose of her visit.
The Federal Court held the Officer's decision was reasonable, noting that the Officer properly weighed the applicant's circumstances and did not place unreasonable emphasis on her family ties in Canada.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
