The applicant, who previously overstayed a work visa in Canada, sought a new work permit from the Philippines.
An officer denied the application, citing concerns about the applicant's strong ties to Canada and past failure to comply with immigration limits.
The Federal Court found the officer's decision reasonable, noting it was based on the applicant's immigration history.
The Court also held that the officer was not required to provide the applicant an opportunity to address concerns, as the burden of persuasion rested with the applicant.
