MA9-11033

The claimant's allegations were undermined by credibility concerns and insufficient corroboration and, on country evidence, relocation to Karachi would be a reasonable internal flight alternative such that there is less than a serious possibility of persecution; therefore the claimant is neither a Convention refugee under s.96 IRPA nor a person in need of protection under s.97 IRPA.
