When is a visa officer's notice of concern required in a visa application?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Nehme v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2004 FC 64 (CanLII):
In Parmar v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),[1997] F.C.J. No. 1532, at para. 36, I commented that: Procedural fairness does not oblige a visa officer, in weighing evidence provided by an applicant, . . . to accord an applicant a 'running score' or a penultimate comment on his 'score'. I would add to this position the view [. . .] that there is no requirement for notice of an officer's concerns where these arise directly from the Act and Regulations that the officer is bound to follow in his or her assessment of the applicant.
