The claim was rejected because the principal claimant's evidence was not credible due to material omissions, contradictions and failures to obtain readily available documentation, coupled with the unexplained failure to seek protection in intermediary countries; these findings meant the claimants did not meet the definitions of Convention refugees or persons in need of protection under ss.96 and 97(1) IRPA.
