The following excerpt is from Baber v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2001 FCT 1077 (CanLII):
The fact that the respondents did not tell the applicant about the doctoral degree requirement doesn't make the visa officer's decision unfair. It was the applicant's responsibility to prove that he met the criteria set out in the rules and regulations (Yu v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) (1990), 36 F.T.R. 296).
