(IMM-8320-14; 2015 CF 1090; 2015 FC 1090)

Indexed As: Ortiz v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)

Federal Court

Shore, J.

September 17, 2015.

Summary:

The Immigration Division (ID) of the Immigration and Refugee Board issued a removal order against the applicant, a citizen of Honduras, because he was inadmissible to Canada on grounds of serious criminality and criminality. That determination made his refugee protection claim ineligible. The applicant applied for judicial review, arguing that the ID erred in determining that the applicant did not satisfy the conditions to be deemed to have been rehabilitated.

The Federal Court dismissed the application, holding that the ID's decision was reasonable.
