I now turn to the applicant's other argument that the visa officer, when stating that he had made "no employment contacts in Canada", did not take into account the fact that he had an uncle and good friend in Toronto who is a contractor willing to help him. First, not only is there a presumption that the visa officer had due regard to all the evidence available (see Florea v. M.E.I. (June 11, 1993), A-1307-91), but rather it appears clearly from the notes taken by the visa officer and filed by the applicant himself that the former considered those facts. Second, I agree with the respondent's proposition that it was not patently unreasonable for the visa officer to consider that having friends and an uncle in Toronto willing to help him find a job did not constitute "employment contacts".
