The applicant sought judicial review of a decision refusing her temporary resident visa application for misrepresentation after she failed to disclose a prior US visa revocation.
She argued the omission was an innocent mistake because she filled out the forms in haste and misunderstood the question.
The Federal Court held the officer reasonably rejected this explanation, finding the statutory question clearly included other countries and that mere inadvertence does not meet the narrow exception for innocent misrepresentation.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
