What constitutes a "blanket statement" to the effect that all the evidence is insufficient?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Ancheta v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2008 FC 1283 (CanLII):
There is a presumption that the officer has considered all the evidence before him. While the officer is not obliged to recite every evidentiary fact before him in his decision, it is expected that the significant facts will be described and that there will be some discussion and consideration of these facts. A “blanket statement” to the effect that the officer has considered all the evidence is insufficient (Cepeda-Gutierrez v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1998 CanLII 8667 (FC), 157 F.T.R. 35, 83 A.C.W.S. (3d) 264 (F.C.T.D.); Bains v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), 63 F.T.R. 312, 40 A.C.W.S. (3d) 657) (F.C.T.D.).
