Zaheer v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2024 FC 263

Case Summary

The applicant sought judicial review of a negative Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) decision. He claimed the PRRA Officer breached procedural fairness by copying passages from a prior U.S. immigration decision and that the credibility findings were unreasonable. The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding that despite some identical wording, the PRRA Officer engaged in an independent analysis of the evidence and the decision met the standard of reasonableness.
