The applicant, a citizen of Colombia, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing his appeal and confirming the Refugee Protection Division's finding that he was neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
The RAD found overall lack of credibility due to material inconsistencies between the narrative and oral testimony, and noted the applicant failed to provide reasonable explanations for the lack of corroborating documentary evidence.
The Federal Court held the RAD's credibility analysis and treatment of documentary evidence were reasonable, dismissing the application.
