Is it reasonable for an applicant at a Personal Injury Appeal (PIF) hearing to omit an incident in which his house was shot at?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Ali v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2000 CanLII 16628 (FC):

This conclusion is entirely reasonable and the plaintiff submitted nothing that might show that the conclusion was not based on the evidence or that it was unreasonable. The judgment of Nadon J. in Sanchez v. M.E.I., IMM-2631-99, April 20, 2000, is similar. In that case, the plaintiff had spoken at the hearing for the first time of an incident in which his house was fired on, an incident which persuaded him to come to Canada. Nadon J. concluded that it was "improbable that the applicant could forget to mention an incident of such importance in his PIF, since this was the incident that supposedly convinced him to come to Canada".
