The applicant sought judicial review of a decision refusing her application for permanent residence under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers Program.
The refusal was based on the applicant's alleged failure to meet the education requirement.
The Federal Court found the decision unreasonable because the officer failed to meaningfully evaluate the education credential equivalency report and did not explain why the applicant's post-secondary training was insufficient to meet the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma.
The application for judicial review was allowed and the matter was remitted for reconsideration.
