Judicial review of RAD decision dismissed where applicant failed to establish Eritrean identity.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing his appeal from the Refugee Protection Division (RPD).
The RPD and RAD found that the applicant failed to establish his identity as an Eritrean national and that his evidence was not credible.
The Federal Court found that the RAD reasonably assessed the evidence, including concluding that a submitted birth certificate was not genuine and assigning little weight to vague support letters.
The Court held that the RAD's credibility findings and ultimate determination on identity were reasonable.
