Does the current state of the law and the unique facts of the case law dictate that a person who refuses to bow to extortion should not be forced to forsake the association?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Filimonov v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1998 CanLII 8811 (FC):

Similarly, in Karpounin v. Minister of Employment and Immigration (1995), 92 F.T.R. 219, Jerome A.C.J. states: The present state of the law and the unique facts of this case do not dictate, as submitted by the applicant, that his refusal to bow to extortion puts him in a particular social group defined by innate or unchangeable characteristics, nor that his status as a financially successful person in the Ukraine, places him in a particular social group defined by voluntary association "for reasons so fundamental to their human dignity they should not be forced to forsake the association".
