How has the PCDO treated the evidence of an applicant's own evidence?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Moussa v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2002 FCT 513 (CanLII):

The applicant argues that, because the PCDO did not expressly impugn the applicant's credibility, then she must have considered his evidence to be credible. It was incumbent upon the decision-maker therefore to explain why she preferred documentary evidence over the applicant's own evidence: Okyere-Akosah v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) (1992), 157 N.R. 387 (F.C.A.).
