Judicial review dismissed; RAD reasonably found applicants had a viable Internal Flight Alternative in Pakistan.
The applicants, a family of five from Pakistan, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing their appeal and confirming the Refugee Protection Division's rejection of their refugee claims.
The principal applicant claimed a fear of persecution from his family due to his conversion to Sunni Islam.
The RAD found the applicants had a viable Internal Flight Alternative (IFA) in Lahore, Faisalabad, or Dera Ghazi Khan.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, concluding the RAD's IFA finding and assessment of forward-looking risk were reasonable.
Judicial review of study permit refusal dismissed as reasonable with no procedural fairness breach.
The applicant sought judicial review of a visa officer's refusal of his study permit application.
The officer concluded that the applicant had poor rationale for his course of study and weak ties to his country of citizenship, leading to the finding that he would not leave Canada at the end of his stay.
The court found no breach of procedural fairness and held the decision was reasonable.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
Motion for sale of matrimonial home granted; cross-motion for exclusive possession and transfer to son dismissed.
The applicant brought a motion for the sale of the jointly owned matrimonial home.
The respondent opposed the sale and brought a cross-motion for exclusive possession and an order transferring the home to their adult son for a fixed price.
The court granted the applicant's motion, finding that the applicant had a prima facie right to sale and the respondent failed to establish a reasonable need to delay the sale for the benefit of the adult children.
The court also dismissed the cross-motion to transfer the home to the son, noting it lacked jurisdiction to compel a sale to a specific party or grant a right of first refusal.
