Judicial review dismissed as the RPD's negative credibility and 'no credible basis' findings were reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Refugee Protection Division decision denying his refugee claim.
The RPD found the applicant not credible and determined there was 'no credible basis' for his claim.
The applicant alleged fear of persecution by his ex-spouse and a cartel after refusing to participate in human smuggling.
The Federal Court held the RPD's negative credibility findings were reasonable due to missing corroborative evidence and implausibility in the applicant's account.
The Court further upheld the 'no credible basis' finding, noting that without credible direct testimony, general country condition evidence was insufficient to sustain the claim.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
