Judicial review of a PRRA rejection dismissed; officer reasonably assessed risk in Morocco.
The applicant, a Moroccan citizen under a deportation order for serious criminality, applied for judicial review of a decision rejecting his Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) application.
He claimed fear of returning to Morocco due to his conversion to Christianity in Canada.
The officer concluded that while Christian converts face difficulties in Morocco, the discrimination does not amount to persecution.
The Federal Court struck several paragraphs from the applicant's affidavits for being argumentative or based on speculation rather than personal knowledge.
The Court found the officer reasonably assessed the objective country condition evidence and the applicant's circumstances.
Applying the reasonableness standard from Vavilov, the Court concluded the decision was internally coherent, rational, and justified, and dismissed the application for judicial review.
