Does the Minister of Employment and Immigration have an obligation to produce all relevant information to an immigration officer?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Rani v. Citizenship and Immigration (Minister of), 2002 FCT 1102 (CanLII):

This view is supported by the decision of this Court in Hajariwala v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1989] 2 F.C. 79 (F.C.T.D.), in which Jerome A.C.J. made the following remarks at paragraph 7: It is also important to emphasize that the Immigration Act, 1976 in section 6 requires that those seeking landing in Canada must satisfy an immigration officer that they meet the selection standards set out in the Immigration Regulations, 1978. It is clearly, therefore, the responsibility of the applicant to produce all relevant information which may assist his application. The extent to which immigration officers may wish to offer assistance, counselling or advice may be a matter of individual preference or even a matter of departmental policy from time to time, but it is not an obligation that is imposed upon the officers by the Act or the Regulations.
