The applicant sought judicial review of a visa officer's refusal of his work permit application to work as a long-haul truck driver in Canada.
The officer refused the application on two grounds: concern that the applicant would not leave Canada due to family ties, and concern about the applicant's ability to perform the work adequately.
The Federal Court found the officer's decision lacked justification, intelligibility, and transparency, as there was no evidence of family ties in Canada, and the officer's rationale regarding evidentiary insufficiency was unintelligible.
The application for judicial review was granted.
