What is the impact of a decision by a visa officer not to grant an application for a business visa to Canada?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Lin v. Canada (Minster of Citizenship and Immigration), 2001 FCT 1272 (CanLII):

However, the visa officer found that she was not satisfied that the applicant would be able to become successfully established in his business in Canada. Furthermore, as stated by Evans J. in Han Qing Chen v. M.C.I., [1999] F.C.J. No. 528. ... I would have thought that the discretion in question is residual in nature, and should be decisive only in cases that present unusual facts, or where the applicant has come close to obtaining 70 units of assessment.
