The applicant, a foreign student in Canada, completed an internship without a required work permit.
Upon traveling to the US and returning to Canada to apply for a post-graduation work permit, the border officer refused the permit because the applicant had worked without authorization.
The Minister's Delegate subsequently issued an exclusion order finding the applicant inadmissible for seeking to enter Canada to work without the required documents.
The applicant sought judicial review of the exclusion order.
The Federal Court found the delegate's decision reasonable, noting the decision was based on the applicant's lack of documents and future risk of working illegally, rather than just past unauthorized work.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
