The dispute arose from the appellant’s belief that TRB wrongfully required him to pass an English language proficiency test when applying for a teaching qualification in British Columbia. The appellant, originally from Bangladesh, argued that the requirement was discriminatory and racially biased. The Tribunal summarily dismissed his complaint, finding no evidence to support his allegations of bias.
