What is the burden of establishing objective and subjective fear of persecution?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Kabengele v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2000 CanLII 16629 (FC):

[33] It is well settled that it is the plaintiff who has the burden of establishing an objective and subjective fear of persecution. It is not enough simply to present documentary evidence. The plaintiff must have shown that he himself had a valid fear of persecution (see Sinora v. M.E.I. (1993), 66 F.T.R. 113 (F.C.A.)).
