TA2-03738

The claimant expressly denied any fear of persecution or serious harm and provided only economic and family-motivated reasons to come to Canada; given his passport and EEC residence rights and the absence of any evidence of persecution or serious harm, the panel found no credible basis for the claim and therefore the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection, so the claim is rejected.
