The following excerpt is from Wangden v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2008 FC 1230 (CanLII), [2009] 4 FCR 46:
Withholding of removal protects eligible claimants from removal or deportation to a country in which they are at risk but does not prevent exclusion or deportation to another hospitable, safe country willing to accept or take in the refugee. Withholding of removal is not a discretionary remedy. An entitlement exists for the subcategory of refugees who can show that it is more likely than not they would be threatened upon return to their home country: INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, above.
