REASONS FOR
ORDER AND ORDER
[1]
The
Respondent in this matter brings a motion to strike the application filed with
the Court.
[2]
I
have reviewed the material before the Court and considered the submissions of
Counsel for the Respondent and Mr. Nourhaghighi.
[3]
In
my view it is clear that s.72(1) of IRPA applies to the decision in
question, namely that of a visa officer considering a temporary visitation
visa. As such the proper procedure is to bring an application for leave under
section 72 of IRPA. The Applicant, Mr. Nourhaghighi, incorrectly brought
an application for judicial review under sections 18.1(1)(a) and 18 (4)(2) of
the Federal Courts Act.
[4]
There
is no order as to costs.
ORDER
THIS
COURT ORDERS that the motion to strike the application in
its entirety in this matter is granted.
