What is the burden of Nexus in a refugee claim?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Duran v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2010 FC 1271 (CanLII):
Nexus is a required element that must be proven in every refugee claim. It is the applicants burden to prove that there is a link between his or her claim and one of the five Convention grounds enumerated in section 96. See Rizkallah v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1992] F.C.J. No. 412 (F.C.A.). In the instant case, the Applicants failed to adduce sufficient evidence to establish that link.
