The conclusion is to the effect that the Applicant does not meet the need of a protected person and the application is rejected. [6] The Applicant failed to convince the Court that an error was made in the analysis and that there is a possibility that the Applicant could suffer irreparable harm if he is deported to his country of origin. With that conclusion, it is not necessary to address whether there is a serious issue to be tried and whether the balance of convenience is in favour of the Applicant or the Respondent. [7] For those reasons, this application for a stay is dismissed. (Sgd.) "Pierre Blais" Judge Vancouver, B.C.
