TB1-17568

The claim fails because the claimant did not meet her evidentiary burden: material inconsistencies and unexplained omissions undermined her credibility, the presented summons lacked indicia of authenticity and did not match her PIF allegations, and she did not prove that Chinese authorities know of or would perceive her Canadian Falun Gong practice, so she has not established a real risk of persecution under ss.96 or 97 IRPA.
