The applicant, a citizen of Haiti, sought judicial review of a pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) decision that rejected his application.
He claimed he faced threats from a political figure in Les Cayes.
The officer found the applicant failed to show he could not safely live elsewhere in Haiti (internal flight alternative).
The applicant argued the officer erred by not holding an oral hearing and by unreasonably assessing the evidence, including ignoring untranslated documents.
The Federal Court held a hearing was not required because credibility was not the basis for the decision; it was rejected for insufficient evidence.
The Court also found the officer's assessment of the evidence and disregard for untranslated documents reasonable.
The application was dismissed.
