@smeurrens When broken down by nationality,

Iranian applicants appear to have seen a sharp rise in security screening requests.

> More importantly,
how many of these cases do they actually finalize each year?
Many have been waiting for years without a decision.

@TorontoStar If Canada really cares about security, it should set a fair timeline for security checks for people inside Canada.

@TorontoStar Iranians with top immigration scores & provincial nominations have been waiting years for background checks—while others get decisions in under a year. Endless delays are unfair. They deserve the same processing times. #IranianPRdelays

Years in Canada. PR processing time passed. Yet many Iranians still wait, left in uncertainty. They deserve answers, not endless delays.

@IranianPRGroup @JennaSudds Thousands of Iranians in Canada, who have lived, studied, and worked here for years, are still facing long background checks. Being in Canada should mean faster processing, not delays. Applicants should at least have a clear timeline from IRCC & CBSA.

@TorontoStar Some people under this post are asking for longer background checks.
If their real concern is Canada’s security, it makes more sense to check the backgrounds of people who are already in Canada faster — so any issues can be found and handled quickly.
