2010 FC 54<\/p>\n
January 20, 2010<\/p>\n
Principle Established: A foreign worker should not be refused a WP based on his future intent of becoming a PR.<\/p>\n
The Applicant was a working as a cook in Sri Lanka. He made two applications for WP following LMO approvals, but was refused. He initially applied as a cook, but the visa officer found that he was not qualified enough to work as a cook. He subsequently secured a job as kitchen helper with another employer, but this time his WP he was refused because the visa officer could not understand why the applicant would accept a job as a helper while he was a cook. The visa officer also determined that the applicant was not a genuine foreign worker based on his future intent of becoming a PR.<\/p>\n
The issue is whether the second visa officer erred in his decision about granting the WP.<\/p>\n
The court found out that the visa officer failed to consider the applicant\u2019s intention of gaining Canadian experience while working as a helper and aspire to become a cook.<\/p>\n
The court also decided that the applicant should not be refused a WP based on his future intent to become a PR as long as the visa officer is satisfied that the applicant will leave at the end of his permit and not remain in Canada illegally.<\/p>\n
The application for judicial review was allowed.<\/p>\n
