The applicants, a family from Colombia, sought judicial review of a Refugee Protection Division decision denying their claim for refugee protection.
The RPD found they had not rebutted the presumption of state protection and did not err by not assessing the claim based on sexual orientation.
The Federal Court found the RPD's decision reasonable, concluding the RPD adequately weighed the evidence regarding state protection and was not required to consider sexual orientation as it was not raised as a ground of persecution.
The application was dismissed.
