What is the scope of an officer’s review of a procurement officer's notes?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Alam v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2017 FC 126 (CanLII):

The officer is solely responsible for determining whether the letters from the applicant’s former employers are sufficient to demonstrate that he meets the requirements of the Regulations (minimum qualifications). The officer was under no obligation to provide a detailed or comparative analysis in the notes or the refusal letter for every single task (Lake v. Canada (Minister of Justice), 2008 SCC 23, [2008] 1 SCR 761 at para. 46). The officer’s finding is an acceptable outcome given the applicable law and the evidence on the record. In this case, the officer found that the applicant appeared to be more of a team leader or specialist, but not a manager who directs and controls a purchasing department. This finding is not unreasonable given the evidence on the record. In fact, the applicant’s supervisor at Grameephone signed the letter of attestation as “chief procurement officer.” In addition, the letter of attestation provided by his employer at Banglalink indicated that the applicant was working with their supply chain managers.
