Date: 20021210 Docket: A-722-01 Neutral citation: 2002 FCA 492 CORAM: STONE J.A. SHARLOW J.A. MALONE J.A. BETWEEN: NELLY VILCHES and AYLEEN VILCHES Appellants - and - THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on Tuesday, December 10th, 2002.) SHARLOW, J.A. [1] Notwithstanding the most able submissions of counsel for the appellants, we are not persuaded that there is any error in the decision of Justice McKeown that warrants the intervention of this Court. The question certified by Justice McKeown was: Do reasons for a decision of an application under s.114(2) of the Immigration Act have to be made contemporaneously with the decision or can the reasons be made subsequent to the decision? [2] We would answer that question as follows: The reasons for a decision under subsection 114(2) of the Immigration Act do not have to be made contemporaneously with the decision. [3] This appeal will be dismissed. "Karen R. Sharlow" J.A.
