     REASONS FOR ORDER


ROULEAU, J.


[1]      This is an application for judicial review of the decision of Moonho Lee, Designated Immigration Officer at the Canadian Embassy in Seoul, Korea, dated December 3, 1999, wherein the Immigration Officer refused Jae Kwon Yu's application for permanent residence on the basis that he did not meet the definition of "entrepreneur" as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Immigration Regulations, 1978, and was inadmissible under paragraph 19(2)d) of the Immigration Act, R.S.C. 1976-77, ch. 52.

[2]      The issue before the Court is whether or not to set aside the decision and refer the matter back for determination in accordance with such directions as it considers to be appropriate pursuant to paragraph 18.1(3)b) of the Federal Court Act.

[3]      I need not elaborate. This must be the least meritorious application I have ever entertained.

[4]      This applicant had no documentation to justify his success or lack thereof in business; no evidence that would suggest he had the proper manufacturing acumen either to conduct a business in his homeland and much less in Canada, having no plan whatsoever with respect to entering into the field in which he proposed to establish himself in this country.

[5]      The application for judicial review is dismissed.
