Indian man linked to disinformation campaigns receives new chance for Canadian residency after court ruling

An Indian man, referred to as A.S., will have another chance to apply for permanent residency in Canada after a Federal Court ruling. He was previously denied due to alleged links to disinformation campaigns and a company involved in surveillance tools. The visa officer had concerns about A.S.'s connections to the Srivastava Group, which was linked to disinformation efforts against countries in conflict with India. However, the judge found insufficient evidence to support the officer's claims of a direct link between A.S. and the group. The court ruled that the visa officer's reasoning was flawed and based on speculation. A.S. will now have his application reviewed by a different officer.
