What is the current state protection for children of Pakistani police officers who are labelled as anti-terrorism supporters?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Asghar v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2005 FC 768 (CanLII):

While it is true that the guideline the applicant is referring to provides an example of a recognized particular social group, children of police officers, who are labelled as anti-terrorism supporters, I must stress that this guideline is based on a decision of this Court in Badran, supra, dealing with the issue of state protection, and there was evidence that the authorities indeed were unable to protect the children of Egyptian police officers. In this case, however, the applicant did not provide any evidence showing that children of Pakistani police officers are members of a particular social group that is threatened by terrorists. Furthermore, as the guideline is not law, it need not be followed when the circumstances are such that a different analysis is appropriate: Narvaez v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1995 CanLII 3575 (FC), [1995] 2 F.C. 55. (b) Was the applicant persecuted for reasons of membership in a particular social group, namely, his family?
