What is the test for establishing a nexus between a particular social group and a Convention ground?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v. A032, 2013 FC 322 (CanLII):
The issue of nexus to a Convention ground raises a question of mixed law and fact. Here, the question raised concerns the existence of a connection between the “particular social group” and “political opinion” Convention grounds and the Respondent’s particular factual circumstances. It follows that the applicable standard of review is reasonableness. See: Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 at paragraph 53.
