by Andrew Z. Wlodyka Judicial Review by the Federal Court The White Paper seeks to reduce access to the Federal Court of Canada by the imposition of a leave requirement for those non-family-class immigrants and refugees whose overseas applications are refused. This means that if an application for permanent residence or refugee status is refused, the aggrieved immigrant or overseas refugee would have to persuade the Federal Court that he or she has an arguable case to be granted a full hearing. Such a request would have to be made in writing and a decision by the Court denying leave would not need to be explained in reasons. The Department has provided no justification for this proposal as there is no evidence of abuse at the present time. In 1998, there were only 350 visa officer cases decided by the Federal Court and 40 per cent of them went against the Government. Top of Page |
