Judicial review of a negative PRRA decision dismissed; no breach of procedural fairness and decision was reasonable.
The applicant, a citizen of Peru who is inadmissible to Canada on grounds of serious criminality, sought judicial review of a decision rejecting his pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA).
He argued the decision maker breached procedural fairness by departing from a previous positive PRRA opinion and failing to hold a hearing, and that the decision was unreasonable for ignoring evidence.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding no breach of procedural fairness and holding that the decision maker reasonably concluded the applicant failed to establish a serious possibility of persecution or risk in Peru.
