The applicants sought judicial review of a decision refusing their application for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
They claimed risk in Nigeria due to the mother's alleged bisexuality, which the RPD and RAD had previously found not credible.
The officer gave little weight to psychological reports based on those discredited claims and found insufficient evidence of hardship or negative impact on the children's best interests.
The Federal Court held the officer's decision was reasonable, noting the officer properly assessed the best interests of the children, appropriately weighed the medical reports, and reasonably relied on prior adverse credibility findings.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
