Federal Court rules that it was unreasonable for a visa officer to refuse an open spousal work permit on the basis that the inviter did not provide bank statements showing salary deposits from his Canadian employer. The inviter provided a copy of their work permit, a letter of employment, paystubs, their employer's LMIA, a Notice of Assessment from the CRA, and a T4 statement. The visa officer wrote that without bank statements showing deposits, which are not required on the checklist, that they could not confirm that the person was actually working. Justice Gascon stated that the decision was an affront to the facts, defied logic, and was fundamentally unintelligible. decisions.fct-cf.ca/fc-cf/decision…
