A Federal Court judge has overturned a decision to revoke the refugee status of a Pakistani man who returned to his home country six times. Justice Avvy Yao-Yao Go ruled that Canada's Refugee Protection Division failed to consider key evidence showing the man took precautions against religious extremists while in Pakistan, including avoiding mosques. The tribunal had originally found that the applicant voluntarily sought Pakistan's protection, but the judge identified inconsistencies where none existed. The case has been sent back for reassessment by a different panel, with the man's lawyer noting the ruling aligns with other decisions challenging aggressive refugee cessation approaches.
