What is the impact of incorrect notes being recorded by an immigration officer at the port of entry?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Singh v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2006 FC 669 (CanLII):

In my opinion, this matter must be distinguished from Kusi v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1993] F.C.J. No. 523 (F.C.T.D.) (QL). In Kusi, the applicant claimed that the answers recorded in the notes of the immigration officer at the port of entry were inaccurate. In this matter, the applicant did not raise any argument regarding the inaccurate content of the examination at the port of entry. Indeed, the applicant does not mention any specific factor stemming from his own record that would support his claims. The sole fact that the request was denied by the coordinator before the hearing is not in itself sufficient grounds to determine that there was a breach of natural justice or procedural fairness.
