Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Singh Grewal v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2019 FC 1307 (CanLII):
The decision of the Officer, in dealing with an application for a work permit, is reviewable on the standard of reasonableness; see the decision in Penez v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2017 FC 1001 at paragraph 16.
According to the decision in Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 (CanLII), [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190, the standard of reasonableness requires that a decision be justifiable, transparent and intelligible, falling within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes that are defensible on the law and the facts.
