Judicial review of PRRA refusal dismissed; delay and lack of hearing did not breach fairness.
The applicant sought judicial review of a pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) decision that rejected his application.
The applicant argued that the eight-year delay in processing his application violated procedural fairness, that an interview should have been conducted, and that the officer ignored evidence.
The Court found that the delay did not amount to an abuse of process, that the officer's credibility findings did not trigger the need for a hearing, and that the officer reasonably assessed the evidence regarding the applicant's risk of returning to the Congo.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
