Bhavnani v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2023 FC 300

Case Summary

The applicants sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision confirming the refusal of their refugee claims. The RAD found the principal applicant had a viable internal flight alternative in Abuja, Nigeria, and that the associate applicants had not established a risk of persecution or harm in India. The Federal Court held the RAD's assessment was reasonable and dismissed the application for judicial review.
