Citizenship And Immigration Canada: Richard Kurland

Federal Court Decision Dept: The ruling overturns decisions by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to reject six permanent resident applicants. The rejections occurred after they failed to respond to emails asking them for more documents, according to CBC. A Federal Court justice ruled that if the government chooses to send critical information by email, it bears the risk of failed transmission and a Federal Court decision involving transmitting important decisions by email could have wide-reaching implications for government, says a Vancouver lawyer. Jamil Azimzadeh, a Coquitlam, B.C., immigration consultant who handled their cases, said he never received the emails. His lawyer, Richard Kurland, argued in Federal Court that while the government's records showed the emails had been relayed, there was no evidence they'd ever been received. As reported in the news.
