Does an applicant have an obligation to consider potential immigrants as "investors" as an alternative to applications for admission as "entrepreneurs"?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Wang v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2000 CanLII 15300 (FC):

The applicant submits, as authority for its position, the case of Mui-Ling Hui v. Canada (M.C.I.).1 In my view, this case does not deal with the question of whether a visa officer has an obligation to consider potential immigrants as "investors" as an alternative to applications for admission as "entrepreneurs", though both categories may be generally considered as within an undefined business group. Mr. Justice Campbell in Hui did apply the principle that in considering an applicant for admission in the independent category, for employment in a particular occupation, a visa officer must also consider other occupations that are inherent in the application in view of the applicant's work experience.
