TB5-12534

The claim is rejected because the panel found the claimant not credible on central facts (marital status and abuse) based on significant contradictions in her applications and testimony, her admission to knowingly providing false information to Canadian officials, and the absence of reliable, government-issued corroborating documentation; therefore she failed to establish a serious possibility of persecution or risk under IRPA sections 96 and 97.
