What is the legal test for assessing the evidence and the probative value of the testimony?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Romhaine v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2011 FC 534 (CanLII):

The case law is consistent that assessing the evidence and the testimony, as well as attaching probative value to them, is up to the RPD (Aguebor v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), (1993), 160 N.R. 315 (FCA)). The standard of review is reasonableness and a certain level of deference is owed to decisions by the specialized tribunal (Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190).
