Reviewing the application of a Canadian Experience Class (CEC) applicant,
the Federal Court of Canada ruled out that an applicant who intends to claim points based on level of education is required to submit an educational credential assessment (ECA),
while those who have no such intention or do not need those points can ignore the supporting documents and not submit them. If an applicant’s score is above the minimum number of points,
and she or he meets the eligibility requirements, it is unreasonable for the immigration officer to reject the application.

On July 12, 2022, the Government of Canada published the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada (Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) for the lower courts to make a reasonable decision on immigration applications.
Civil servants are required by law to make decisions fairly, based on internally coherent reasoning that is both rational and logical.
The updated instructions provide visa officials with a defined method for making decisions to make sure that the choice is reasonable and correct.
