Judicial review of work permit refusal dismissed; findings on capability and ties reasonable.
The applicant, a citizen of India residing in the UAE, applied for judicial review of a visa officer's decision refusing his work permit application for a long haul truck driver position in Canada.
The officer was not satisfied the applicant could adequately perform the work or that he would leave Canada at the end of his stay, citing differences in driving conditions, lack of international long haul experience, and limited ties to India or the UAE.
The Federal Court found the officer's determinations were justified on the record and dismissed the application for judicial review.
