Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Awolope v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2010 FC 540 (CanLII):
Reasonableness is also the appropriate standard upon which to review whether the Officer erred in her treatment of the evidence. The weight an officer chooses to assign to evidence is a discretionary decision which deserves deference. See Aguebor v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), 160 N.R. 315, [1993] F.C.J. No. 732, and Dunsmuir at paragraphs 51 and 53.
