JUDGMENT AND REASONS 判决及理由

I. Overview 一. 概述

[1] The principal applicant, Ms. Tala Ghaddar, her husband, Mr. Mohamad Saad, and their three children, Aya Saad, Lilas Saad, and Mirabelle Saad [together, the Saad family], are citizens of Lebanon. They ask the Court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] to process their application for permanent residence [Application], which was filed more than six years ago, in 2016.
[1]主要申请人塔拉·加达尔女士,她的丈夫穆罕默德·萨阿德先生,以及他们的三个孩子艾雅·萨阿德、莉拉斯·萨阿德和米拉贝尔·萨阿德[统称萨阿德家庭],是黎巴嫩公民。他们请求法院发出强制令,迫使加拿大移民、难民和公民事务部[IRCC]处理他们于 2016 年提交的永久居留申请[申请],该申请已提交超过六年。

[2] The Saad family submits that IRCC has unreasonably delayed their Application. They seek the following reliefs:
[2]萨德家族提交称 IRCC 不合理地延迟了他们的申请。他们寻求以下救济:

  1. A declaratory order finding that IRCC refused to process their Application in a timely manner and has unreasonably delayed the processing of their Application;
    一项声明性命令,认定 IRCC 未能及时处理他们的申请,并且不合理地延迟了他们申请的处理

  2. An order for a writ of mandamus directing IRCC to complete the processing of their Application in accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, SC 2001, c 27 [IRPA] and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, SOR/2002-227;
    一项命令,要求发出强制令,指示 IRCC 根据《移民和难民保护法》,SC 2001, c 27 [IRPA] 和《移民和难民保护条例》,SOR/2002-227 完成对其申请的处理;

  3. A declaratory order requiring IRCC to complete the processing of their Application within 90 days of IRCC’s receipt of the requested documentation pertaining to the addition of Mirabelle Saad to their Application;
    一项声明性命令,要求 IRCC 在收到与将 Mirabelle Saad 添加到其申请相关的请求文件后的 90 天内完成对其申请的处理;

  4. A declaratory order stating that the High Commission of Canada – United Kingdom office has
    一项声明性命令,说明加拿大驻英国高级专员公署已

a) inordinately delayed the conclusion of this case; and
a) 不当延迟了本案的结论;并且

b) acted unfairly in failing to disclose the reasons for the delay in concluding the processing of this case.
b) 在未能披露延迟处理此案原因的情况下,行为不公。

  1. Their costs for this proceeding; and
    他们在此程序中的费用;和

  2. Such further and other relief as may be advised and this Honourable Court considers appropriate in the circumstances.
    本尊敬的法院在考虑到情况的情况下,可能建议的其他救济和进一步救济。

[3] For the reasons that follow, the Saad family’s application for judicial review will be granted in part. Having considered the evidence and the applicable law, I am satisfied that the Saad family meets the requirements of the test for an order of mandamus. The delay incurred for the treatment of their Application is clearly unacceptable and unreasonable in the circumstances, as IRCC has been unable to provide any explanation or justification for it. This situation warrants the Court’s intervention and the issuance of an order requiring IRCC to complete the processing of the Saad family’s Application within 90 days. However, the Court does not need to grant the other declaratory remedies requested by the Saad family, since an order of mandamus will suffice to correct the unfortunate situation created by the failure to process their permanent residency Application in a timely manner.
[3]基于以下原因,Saad 家族的司法审查申请将部分获准。在考虑了证据和适用法律后,我确信 Saad 家族符合发布强制令的测试要求。由于 IRCC 未能对此延误提供任何解释或理由,因此在这种情况下,处理他们申请的延误显然是不可接受和不合理的。这种情况需要法院的干预,并发布命令要求 IRCC 在 90 天内完成对 Saad 家族申请的处理。然而,法院不需要批准 Saad 家族请求的其他声明性救济,因为发布强制令足以纠正因未能及时处理他们的永久居留申请而造成的不幸情况。

II. Background 二、背景

A. The factual context A.事实背景

[4] In 2016, Ms. Ghaddar applied for permanent residence in Canada through the economic immigration class, under the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP]. She listed Mr. Saad and her then only daughter, Aya Saad, as accompanying dependants.
[4]在 2016 年,Ghaddar 女士通过经济移民类别申请了加拿大的永久居留,属于省提名计划[PNP]。她将 Saad 先生和她当时唯一的女儿 Aya Saad 列为随行家属。

[5] On December 31, 2016, after submitting her information into the “Express entry pool”, Ms. Ghaddar received a letter from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration — as it then was, confirming that she had been nominated under the PNP.
[5]2016 年 12 月 31 日,在将她的信息提交到“快速入境池”后,Ghaddar 女士收到了安大略省公民和移民部(当时的名称)发来的信件,确认她已被提名为省提名计划(PNP)下的候选人。

[6] On January 4, 2017, Ms. Ghaddar received an invitation to apply for permanent residence under the PNP, through the Express Entry System.
[6]2017 年 1 月 4 日,Ghaddar 女士收到了一份通过快速入境系统申请省提名计划(PNP)永久居留的邀请。

[7] After Ms. Ghaddar, Mr. Saad, and their first daughter Aya completed the medical examinations required by IRCC, Ms. Ghaddar received a letter on February 22, 2017, confirming that the Application had been received.
[7]在 Ghaddar 女士、Saad 先生及他们的长女 Aya 完成 IRCC 要求的医疗检查后,Ghaddar 女士于 2017 年 2 月 22 日收到一封信,确认申请已被接收。

[8] On May 13, 2017 and on August 22, 2017, respectively, IRCC requested Saudi Arabian police certificates for Ms. Ghaddar and her husband, and copies of passport biodata pages along with information regarding their height and eye colour. The requested documents and information were submitted to IRCC on September 27, 2017.
[8]2017 年 5 月 13 日和 2017 年 8 月 22 日,加拿大移民、难民和公民事务部(IRCC)分别要求沙特阿拉伯警方提供 Ghaddar 女士及其丈夫的无犯罪证明,以及护照生物数据页的复印件和他们的身高及眼睛颜色信息。所请求的文件和信息于 2017 年 9 月 27 日提交给 IRCC。

[9] In November 2017, Ms. Ghaddar and her husband submitted an updated “Schedule A form” to provide missing information, as requested by IRCC. From that moment, IRCC had all the relevant information to process the Saad family’s Application.
[9]在 2017 年 11 月,Ghaddar 女士和她的丈夫提交了一份更新的“附表 A 表格”,以提供 IRCC 要求的缺失信息。从那时起,IRCC 拥有处理 Saad 家庭申请的所有相关信息。

[10] On August 2, 2019, Ms. Ghaddar gave birth to her second daughter, Lilas Saad. On November 4, 2019, Ms. Ghaddar requested that Lilas be added to the Application. After submitting the required information, Ms. Ghaddar received a confirmation on January 10, 2020 that Lilas had been added to the Application.

[11] On April 21, 2022, Ms. Ghaddar gave birth to her third daughter, Mirabelle Saad. Similarly, Ms. Ghaddar requested that Mirabelle be added to the Application. Ms. Ghaddar requested an extension of time in order to provide the required documents to IRCC because of delays in obtaining Mirabelle’s passport. As of October 2022, Mirabelle’s documents were still unavailable.
[11]2022 年 4 月 21 日,Ghaddar 女士生下了她的第三个女儿,Mirabelle Saad。同样,Ghaddar 女士请求将 Mirabelle 添加到申请中。由于获得 Mirabelle 护照的延迟,Ghaddar 女士请求延长时间以便向 IRCC 提供所需文件。截至 2022 年 10 月,Mirabelle 的文件仍然不可用。

[12] Since May 2018, Ms. Ghaddar requested updates from IRCC on numerous occasions. The only replies she ever received from the Canadian immigration authorities were that background checks were still ongoing, or that further delays were to be expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[12]自 2018 年 5 月以来,Ghaddar 女士多次向 IRCC 请求更新。她从加拿大移民当局收到的唯一回复是背景调查仍在进行中,或者由于 COVID-19 大流行,预计会有进一步的延迟。

[13] On July 19, 2022, the Saad family filed this application for judicial review.
