What is the test for a refugee claimant to be found to be a Convention refugee?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Chan v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2000 CanLII 16166 (FC):
It is well established that a person who seeks to be found to be a Convention refugee is not required to establish a probability of persecution. Instead, a claimant need only establish that there is a reasonable chance that persecution would take place should the claimant return to his country of origin. (See Adjei v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration ), 1989 CanLII 5184 (FCA), [1989] 2 F.C. 680 (F.C.A.)).
