A Turkish citizen, Musa Durmus, who lost his refugee status in Canada after returning to Turkey for nine years, has received another chance to regain his status. The Federal Court ruled that the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) failed to adequately explain its reasoning regarding Durmus’ name change in Turkey, which is critical to understanding his intentions and protection status. The RPD previously determined that Durmus voluntarily returned to Turkey, leading to the cessation of his refugee status. The court quashed the RPD’s decision and ordered a reassessment by a different decision-maker.
