Panel found claimant lacked credibility on core issues (academic credentials, intent as student, Falun Gong practice and corroboration), concluded study permit was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation, documentary evidence was unreliable, and there was no credible or reasonable risk of persecution on return; therefore claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection and the claim has no credible basis under s.107(2) IRPA.
