Date: 20190821 Docket: IMM-4786-19 Citation: 2019 FC 1089 [UNREVISED CERTIFIED ENGLISH TRANSLATION] Ottawa, Ontario, August 21, 2019 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Shore BETWEEN:LEONIE MOUSSOUNDAApplicantandTHE MINISTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSRespondent ORDER AND REASONS [1] The applicant seeks the stay of an order to remove her to the Republic of Congo effective August 22, 2019.

This application isrelated to an application for leave and for judicial review [ALJR] by the applicant concerning the pre-removal risk assessment [PRRA]. [2] The applicant arrived in Canada as a temporary resident on April 3, 2016, for a period not exceeding six months. [3] The applicant filed a refugee protection claim alleging persecution in her country because she is homosexual. [4] Due to the lack of credibility, the refugee protection claim was rejected by the Refugee Protection Division. [5] The applicant’s appeal was dismissed by the Refugee Appeal Division [RAD], again as a result of a lack of credibility, as the RADdid not believe applicant’s allegations. [6] The ALJR of the RAD’s decision was also dismissed by this Court, which found that the RAD’s decision with respect to credibilityand subjective fear was reasonable, in light of the applicant’s entire record. [7] Following the previous proceedings, the application for humanitarian and compassionate considerations was rejected. [8] In addition, the applicant’s PRRA application was also rejected. [9] New evidence, arising after the previous proceedings, presented by the applicant and related, in her opinion, to her testimony and toher written evidence, which the decision-makers below have already found not to be credible, cannot be circumvented to argue that shefaces a risk should she return to her country of origin. (Salomon Herrada v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2006 FC1004 [Salomon]; Jozsefne v Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), 2008 FC 1411; and Malagon v Canada (Citizenshipand Immigration), 2008 FC 1068, with respect to the documents considered to have no probative value.) [10] On July 29, 2019, the applicant was advised of her removal scheduled for August 22, 2019, that is, three weeks after her Directionto Report in which she was informed of the decision regarding her removal. [11] Having considered the written and oral representations of both parties, the Court is of the opinion that the stay application iswithout merit (Salomon, above, at paras 30 to 32). [12] The removal order is reasonable, as the applicant did not meet the three criteria in Toth (Toth v Canada (Minister of Employmentand Immigration) (1988), (FCA), 86 NR 302 (FCA)). [13] With respect to the arguments relating to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [Charter] and international law, removalfollowing an assessment is not contrary to sections 7 and 12 of the Charter. [14] According to the law, the public interest requires the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to remove anyperson who is the subject of an enforceable removal order (Shaikh v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2007 FC 110 at para 39). [15] For all of these reasons, the applicant’s stay application is dismissed.
