Every file spent on a forced conscript is a file not spent on a genuine IRGC operative. Clear guidelines wouldn't just be fairer, they'd make Canada safer by focusing resources where they belong. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[UnheardConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy]

Dear Minister Anand, your post rightly highlights the importance of protecting national security, confronting the Iranian regime’s hostile activities, and holding those responsible for threatening Canadians accountable.

But an equally important question remains: Are we directing our resources at the right targets?
Why are former conscripts, many of whom fled the very regime Canada is standing against, facing consequences for compulsory conscription? In contrast, Iranian regime operatives continue to threaten and intimidate dissidents on Canadian soil.

Many of these former conscripts and their families have actively opposed the regime from Canada. Some face threats from the very people Canada seeks to hold accountable. Yet these families now fear being sent to the country they fled.

We must pursue genuine threats, protect Canadians from foreign interference, and ensure that innocent families are not treated as perpetrators simply because they were forced to complete conscription many years ago.

Minister, if our goal is to protect Canadians from the Iranian regime, shouldn't we be protecting the people who fled it and are now helping expose its threats?

Mr @AliEhsassi
You promised to support the families of conscripts who have been unjustly targeted, yet I have seen no action from you to date. Please be a voice for these Iranian families in Parliament and help secure a vote for Bill C-350. Also, please ensure that your office answers the phone and responds to emails.

Happy Thanksgiving @AliEhsassi,

You said the IRGC designation would not target innocent forced conscripts.

Today, many Iranians with mandatory conscription records are being treated as if they were IRGC members. That is not what was promised.

You have told affected people that you support them. We now need action, not reassurance.

Please raise this directly with the Ministers of Immigration and Public Safety and push for clear guidance distinguishing forced conscripts from genuine IRGC members.

@AliEhsassi Happy thanksgiving @AliEhsassi thank you for your support of innocent former conscripts. Please keep advocating and push for bill c-350 presented by @GarnettGenuis. The solution is available. Please keep your promise. @LenaMetlegeDiab

Happy Thanksgiving, @AliEhsassi 🍁

For many Iranian families in your riding and across Canada, this holiday is filled with fear. Former Iranian conscripts are receiving refusals because of forced service they never chose.

Their Canadian children are spending Thanksgiving worried about losing their fathers or being sent to live under the regime their parents fled.

As Iranian representative, you can make a difference. Please push for clear guidelines and fair, individual assessments for former conscripts.

Happy Thanksgiving, @AliEhsassi

While many families gather around the table, many families affected by forced conscription are spending this holiday in fear. Former conscripts receiving refusals for a conscription they never chose, and their children growing up afraid of losing their fathers or being sent to live under the regime their parents fled.

You said the IRGC designation would not target innocent forced conscripts, and you've told affected families you support them. But today, men with mandatory conscription records are still being treated as IRGC members. That is not what was promised — and reassurance is no longer enough.

Please raise this directly with the Ministers of Immigration and Public Safety, and push for clear, written guidelines that distinguish forced conscripts from genuine IRGC members — with fair, individual assessments for every case. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[fafa @Belasiifar]

Fair process isn't radical. It's just asking to be judged on what you did, not where you were sent. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[Reza @reza_canada]

Military service is mandatory in Iran. Innocent Iranians forced to serve must not be treated as IRGC operatives—the very people we have fought against. We oppose the IRGC, but forced conscripts are its victims, not its members. Canada must recognize this distinction and protect innocent lives.

[Ari @cast_a_w_a_y]

In Iran, without finishing compulsory service, you can't open a bank account, get a driver's license, or go to university. It's required just to live a normal life. Treating forced service like a choice makes zero sense.

PFLs related to compulsory IRGC conscription can place entire Iranian families under prolonged uncertainty. We urge the Canadian government to issue clear guidelines for IRCC and CBSA distinguishing compulsory conscripts from those who voluntarily joined or cooperated with the IRGC. Clear rules can help ensure that individual circumstances are properly considered and families understand the process.

Canada can protect national security while carefully distinguishing between different individual circumstances. Compulsory conscription and voluntary affiliation with the IRGC are not identical situations. We ask the government to issue clear guidelines for IRCC and CBSA so these cases can be assessed consistently, based on the facts of each person's history.

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

Compulsion is not choice. Iranian conscripts who were assigned to the IRGC years ago should not automatically be assessed in the same way as individuals who voluntarily joined or cooperated with it. We call on the Canadian government to establish clear, official guidelines for IRCC and CBSA that recognize this fundamental distinction.
