Convention Refugees
Judicial review of decision by Refugee Protection Division of Immigration and Refugee Board rejecting applicant’s refugee claim on basis of credibility, implausibility—Board member’s comment 99 percent of documents from Pakistan fraudulent evincing misapprehension of evidence—In absence of anything specific regarding what documentation from relevant Pakistani institution looks like, not appropriate to rely exclusively on general documentary evidence to conclude letters presented by applicant forged—Case distinguished from other cases where evidence fraudulent documents widespread in Pakistan—In those cases Board finding other inconsistencies, credibility flaws in claimant’s story—General documentary evidence about fraudulent documentation cannot be interpreted in vacuum—Application allowed.
