Judicial review of RAD decision dismissed where applicant's credibility was reasonably impugned.
The applicant, a Shia Muslim from Pakistan, sought judicial review of a RAD decision dismissing his appeal from the RPD.
The RAD upheld the RPD's finding that the applicant was not credible, largely due to his failure to claim protection in the United States during a previous visit and the submission of fraudulent documents.
The Federal Court found no breach of procedural fairness, as the authenticity of the documents was already a live issue before the RAD based on the RPD's findings.
The Court also held the RAD's credibility assessment and risk analysis regarding his profile as a Shia Muslim were reasonable.
