The applications were refused on the basis that the officers were not convinced of the family relationship between the applicant and their sponsor, leading to concerns about sufficient financial resources and whether the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.

The Federal Court found the decisions reasonable, noting the limited evidence of the sponsor relationship, and found no breach of procedural fairness.

The applications for judicial review were dismissed.

The principal applicant, a citizen of Iran, applied for a study permit to pursue a Master's degree in Canada.

The applicants sought judicial review.

The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding the officer's conclusion on the financial evidence was reasonable and determinative, and that there was no breach of procedural fairness.
