Judicial review of RAD decision dismissed on basis of adverse credibility findings.
The applicant, a Pakistani Shia Muslim, applied for judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing his refugee protection claim.
The RAD, affirming the Refugee Protection Division (RPD), found the applicant lacked credibility, particularly due to his failure to leave Canada when his visa expired and his inability to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
The Federal Court found the RAD's credibility findings and its assessment of the documentary evidence and the applicant's residual profile to be reasonable, concluding the applicant was not at risk based on his faith and ethnicity.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
