Refugee Claim: Federal Court Judge

Acceptance Rates Dept: In an order issued Friday on an appeal by failed refugee claimant Bingrou Xu, the judge eight times repeated that the credibility findings by Immigration and Refugee Board IRB member David McBean were unreasonable, according to The Star. The refugee board s conclusion . . . appears to have been based on the cumulative effect of the discrepancies, contradictions and other problems that the board identified, Justice Paul Crampton ruled and the day the Star broke the story on a wide variation of acceptance rates by refugee board members, a Federal Court judge issued a decision chastising an adjudicator who had not granted asylum to anyone in three years. McBean rejected Xu s refugee claim last summer, stating 14 times that the claimant s story was unsatisfactory and lacked credibility. Xu fled Belize in 2007 with his two children, claiming his wife was shot to death in a botched robbery of their convenience store and his family continued to be threatened. As reported in the news.
