Judicial review dismissed; collateral attack on prior misrepresentation finding rejected.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision denying his application for permanent residence under the Spousal Sponsorship Class.
The application was denied because the applicant had previously been found inadmissible for misrepresentation in a Temporary Resident Visa application, resulting in a five-year ban.
The applicant attempted to challenge the underlying misrepresentation finding.
The Federal Court held that this amounted to an improper collateral attack on the earlier decision, which was not before the Court, and found the officer's decision reasonable.
