Is a Minister's delegate erred by misapplying the so-called "two-part test" in determining that a convicted criminal must be convicted of certain crimes and that the convicted person is or will be a danger to the public?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Rampersaud v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1998 CanLII 7683 (FC):
The applicant's third submission is that the Minister's delegate erred by misapplying the so-called "two-part test" in Thompson v. M.C.I. (1996), 118 F.T.R. 269 (F.C.T.D.) that the opinion must be based on the fact that the person had been convicted of certain crimes and that the person is or will be a danger to the public. The applicant argues that the immigration officers who recommended the inquiry did not address this issue.
