THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
Respondent
[1] In the present case, on July 18, 2001, the Applicant applied for a visitor's visa at the Canadian Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. As a result of information on the Applicant's Canadian immigration file, the Visa Officer concerned made a statement to the Applicant which I find can reasonably be interpreted to be a rejection of her application.
[2] The preliminary issue to be decided is whether the statement constitutes a decision rejecting the Applicant's application for the visa. On the evidence on the record, I find that it does.
[3] It is agreed that, because no necessary analysis was provided in reaching the decision, as a matter of law, the decision was reached in reviewable error.
O R D E R
Accordingly, I set the decision aside and refer this matter back for redetermination by a different visa officer, on condition that the Applicant pay the necessary processing fee.
