Judicial review of refugee cessation dismissed; applicant reasonably found to have reavailed himself.
The applicant, a Convention refugee from Bangladesh, sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) ceasing his refugee status.
The RPD determined that the applicant voluntarily reavailed himself of the protection of Bangladesh by obtaining a national passport and travelling there twice.
The Federal Court found the RPD's decision reasonable, concluding the RPD correctly applied the test for reavailment and reasonably found no exceptional circumstances rebutted the presumption of intent to reavail.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
