The Federal Court reviewed IRCC’s refusal of Usman Ahmed’s work permit application to work in Canada as an accounting technician or bookkeeper. The officer refused the application, finding that Mr. Ahmed would not leave Canada after his authorized stay and that he had not demonstrated the ability to perform the proposed work. The Court granted judicial review, finding that the officer unreasonably focused on work experience requirements that did not apply because the applicant already held the required university education.
