OMER HASFEB KHAN (a.k.a. Omer Haseeb Khan) Applicant v. THE MINISTER OF, 2013 FC 395

Date: 20130417 Docket: IMM-10442-12 Citation: 2013 FC 395 Vancouver , British Columbia , April 17, 2013 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Zinn BETWEEN: OMER HASFEB KHAN (a.k.a. Omer Haseeb Khan) Applicant and THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER [ 1 ] By motion made in writing, Mr.

Khan asks this Court, pursuant to Rule 397(1) of the Federal Courts Rules , SOR/98-106, to reconsider the Order made on March 13, 2013, dismissing his application for leave to review a decision of the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board dated September 21, 2012 bearing file number TBI-12172 dismissing his appeal of a visa officer’s refusal to grant him a travel visa to return to Canada because he had not complied with his residency obligations as required by subsection 28(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act . [ 2 ] Rule 397(1) provides as follows:

(1) Within 10 days after the making of an order, or within such other time as the Court may allow, a party may serve and file a notice of motion to request that the Court, as constituted at the time the order was made, reconsider its terms on the ground that (

a) the order does not accord with any reasons given for it; or (

b) a matter that should have been dealt with has been overlooked or accidentally omitted. 397.

(1) Dans les 10 jours après qu’une ordonnance a été rendue ou dans tout autre délai accordé par la Cour, une

partie peut signifier et déposer un avis de requête demandant à la Cour qui a rendu l’ordonnance, telle qu’elle était constituée à ce moment, d’en examiner de nouveau les termes, mais seulement pour l’une ou l’autre des raisons suivantes :

a) l’ordonnance ne concorde pas avec les motifs qui, le cas échéant, ont été donnés pour la justifier;

b) une question qui aurait dû être traitée a été oubliée ou omise involontairement. [ 3 ] Rule 397(1) is a technical provision permitting the Court to address situations where there is a clear error in the formal order issued when one examines the reasons given for it or where some matter should have been addressed by the Court but was overlooked or accidentally omitted. It is meant to provide fairness only in those very limited circumstances and Mr. Khan has not established that either applies in this case.

Specifically, Rule 397(1) is not an avenue of appeal when an applicant disagrees with a judge’s disposition of a leave application. That, I suspect, is the situation here. [ 4 ] For these reasons, the motion must be dismissed.

ORDER THIS COURT ORDERS that the motion to reconsider the Order made on March 13, 2013, dismissing the Applicant’s application for leave to review a decision of the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board dated September 21, 2012 bearing file number TBI-12172 dismissing his appeal of a visa officer’s refusal to grant him a travel visa to return to Canada because he had not complied with his residency obligations as required by subsection 28(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is dismissed. “Russel W.
