  • Canada v. Greenwood, 2021 FCA 186

    [1] Class proceedings in the Federal Court provide a procedural vehicle to advance or defend similar claims by members of a group. For plaintiffs, pursuit of such claims via a class proceeding, commenced by one or a few representatives on behalf of members of a larger class, is meant to facilitate access to justice, advance judicial economy and encourage defendants and potential defendants to modify behaviours that give rise to liability. In the Federal Court, as elsewhere in Canada, a representative plaintiff who wishes to pursue a class proceeding must have a judge certify (i.e. authorize) the proceeding as a class proceeding before it can proceed.

  • Bakare v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2021 FC 967

    [1] Jamila Wuraola Bakare and her three children seek refugee protection in Canada. Ms. Bakare claims three Ogboni elders from her husband’s home village in Nigeria have threatened them for refusing to allow the children to undergo dangerous “cleansing” rituals. The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board refused the family’s refugee claims on a number of grounds including the availability of an internal flight alternative (IFA) in Lagos. The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) upheld the IFA finding as determinative of the appeal. In doing so, the RAD refused to accept as new evidence under subsection 110(4) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, SC 2001, c 27 [IRPA] an opinion the Bakares submitted from a Nigerian lawyer about the viability of an IFA in Lagos.

  • Kupriianova v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2021 FC 958

    [1] Ms. Kupriianova is a 71-year-old citizen of Russia who seeks judicial review of a decision of a visa officer at the Embassy of Canada in Moscow dated August 31, 2020, in which her application for a multiple-entry temporary resident visa [TRV] was refused. In short, I find the reasons of the visa officer lack appropriate justification. Consequently, the decision is unreasonable and is to be set aside.

  • Lawal v. Canada (Citzenship and Immigration), 2021 FC 964

    [1] Ibrahim Olanrewaju Lawal, his spouse, Jemila Abiola Lawal, and their two daughters are citizens of Nigeria. They allege a fear of persecution by members of Mr. Lawal’s extended family who insist that the 13-year-old daughter undergo female genital mutilation (FGM). The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada determined that the applicants have a viable internal flight alternative (IFA) within Nigeria, in Benin City, and as a result they are neither Convention refugees nor persons in need of protection under sections 96 and 97 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, SC 2001, c 27 [IRPA]. The Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) dismissed the applicants’ appeal and confirmed the RPD’s determination that Benin City is a viable IFA.
