For example, someone's work permit application was turned down twice because of doubts over the authenticity of the job offer. I had to file two access to information requests before I found out that the labour market assessment performed by the federal department and by the Quebec department, along with an employment contract, were insufficient. The officer wanted to see a logo on the employment contract. This is what blocked the application not once, but twice. What do you think happened next? As I was about to bring an appeal in Federal Court, the applicant withdrew and the employer had to start the whole process over again.
