Case type: Judicial Review of denied Permanent Residence application on grounds of inadmissibility (Federal Court)
Summary: The applicant was deemed inadmissible because he had a criminal conviction in the State of New York. However, our team lawyer, Karen Kwan Anderson, successfully argued that the designated immigration officer who denied the application failed to properly assess the equivalent conviction under Canadian Law, a point with which the assigned Judge agreed. As such, the application for judicial review was allowed and the matter sent to a different immigration officer for determination.
