Problem
This legal research and writing assignment is to prepare a written submission using the CREAC structure, similar to what you might write to a decision-maker in a submission letter accompanying your client's application.
Your written submission should be in support of Ms. Achebe's H&C application focused on the single issue concerning hardship as a result of family violence. There are, in fact, other factors that are important to her application, but in this case, focus only on the element of hardship as a result of family violence.
When drafting your written submission, use the legislation, relevant government policy, and relevant case law identified in your legal research to interpret and apply the legal principles around assessing H&C applications on the issue of hardship as a result of family violence as it relates to the facts surrounding your client Ms. Achebe.
As a starting point for this problem, you should begin with the following materials:
i. IRPA s 25(1)
ii. IRCC Operational Instructions: H&C considerations - Hardship Assessment, online
iii. Kanthasamy v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2015 SCC 61
iv. Febrillet Lorenzo v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2019 FC 925 (CanLII)
