2216694 (Refugee)

The applicant, a citizen of China, sought a protection visa. The delegate of the Minister had previously made a decision regarding the applicant's claim for a protection visa. The applicant subsequently sought a review of this decision by the Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision. This question arose because the delegate's decision had already been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal no longer has jurisdiction to entertain a further review of that same decision.

Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
