Canada Federal Court Judgment on Study Permit! Positive News for International Students
The positive news is Canada Federal Court judgment on study permit was that the international students did not have to pay any or a part of their tuition fee.

Federal Court Judgment

In the case of Tehrani v Canada, related to Citizenship and Immigration, Canada Federal Court ruled that the international students do not need to pay the whole tuition fee or a part of their tuition fee.
Case Study of Tehrani
Tehrani, who is from Iran, was accepted and invited to study in a Toronto college for a Project Management program. He applied for a study permit to immigrate to Canada, as the next step. However, this is where things become complicated. His study permit application was denied. This is because the immigration officer was not sure whether Tehrani would leave Canada after his authorized stay. The decision of refusing Tehrani’s application was because of his marital status, his familial ties in Canada. It was also because he only paid a part of his tuition fees for the program.  On this, the Federal court justified that an applicant of study permit only needs to clarify that they have been accepted into a program. It does not matter if they have paid the whole or part of their study fee. Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) only need the applicant to prove their financial ability to pay for expenses, including their tuition fees. Further, the court announced that the payment of tuition was not relevant to the issue of Tehrani’s leave after his stay. Also, the court’s decision unruled the officer’s decision by concluding that the immigration officer’s refusal of the study permit was unjustifiable.
