Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) Court (s) Database Federal Court Decisions Date 2002-08-22 Neutral citation 2002 FCT 901 File numbers IMM-14-01 Decision Content Date: 20020822 Docket: IMM-14-01 Neutral citation: 2002 FCT 901 BETWEEN: JASWANT SINGH CHINNA Applicant -and- THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent REASONS FOR ORDER (Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on Thursday, August 22, 2002.) ROTHSTEIN, J.A. (ex officio) [1] Mr. Mangat, in spite of your articulate argument, I am unable to find a breach of procedural fairness in this case. You argue that there was a failure of the visa officer and the applicant to understand each other. However, the visa officer offered the applicant the services of an interpreter on more than one occasion. He refused. I do not see what more she could have done. She could not force an interpreter on him. You have not provided me with any authority to the effect that a visa officer breaches rules of procedural fairness when there is a lack of communication between an applicant and a visa officer but where the visa officer offers the services of an interpreter and the applicant refuses. I must dismiss this judicial review.
