Refugee Claimant – Medical Deficiency Basis Approval Chances

[Rajpal (Admin)]

Pursuant to section 96 of IRPA, a convention refugee is a person who has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Your friend’s basis of claim, i.e. not getting medication in the Philippines, is not a “well-founded fear of persecution”; therefore his claim would likely be rejected.
