Turkish man who shot two people gets another chance to stay in Canada 10 years after refugee claim first denied

A Turkish man denied refugee status in Canada a decade back because he shot two bystanders at a restaurant 18 years ago when he was aiming at his former brother-in-law has won a chance to stay in this country.

Nevzat Etik took his case to Federal Court looking for a judicial review after Canada’s Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) determined that the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) concluded correctly that “there are serious reasons to believe that he committed a serious crime and dismissed his appeal.”
