REASONS FOR ORDER
HENEGHAN J.
[1] This is an application for judicial review of a decision dated March 2, 1999, wherein W. Apesland (the "visa officer") refused the application for permanent residence in Canada of Rohit Sachar (the "Applicant") .
[2] The Applicant is a citizen of India. He applied for permanent residence in Canada as an independent immigrant under the intended occupations of
management consultant and purchasing officer.
[3] He was awarded the following units of assessment:
| Age 10 |
| Occupational Factor 00 |
| Specific Vocational Preparation 05 |
| Experience 00 |
| Arranged Employment 00 |
| Demographic Factor 08 |
| Education 13 |
| English 09 |
| French 00 |
| Bonus 00 |
| Suitability 02 |
| TOTAL 47 |
[4] The Applicant alleges that the visa officer erred in failing to award the Applicant any units of assessment for the Experience Factor in the intended occupations of purchasing officer and management consultant.
[5] The Occupational Demand for purchasing officers is zero. Thus, the question that must be answered in this application for judicial review is whether the visa officer erred in awarding the Applicant zero units for Experience for the intended occupation of management consultant.
[6] Following a careful review of the evidence, I am of the opinion that the visa officer did not err in awarding the Applicant zero units for Experience for the intended occupation.
[7] Accordingly, the application for judicial review is dismissed.
[8] Counsel for the parties have seven days following receipt of these reasons to submit a question for certification.
