TA6-07092

The panel rejected the claim because material inconsistencies and implausibilities in the claimant's PIF and oral testimony rendered him not credible; there was no persuasive evidence tying any adverse treatment to a Convention ground and documentary country evidence indicated that overstaying an exit permit would likely result in non-excessive administrative or criminal sanctions rather than persecution, therefore the claimant is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection under IRPA ss.96-97.
