PFLs and PR refusals are destroying the lives of innocent conscripts. Punishing people for forced military service is not justice—it’s a policy failure.

Canada says inadmissibility cases are assessed case by case.If so, shouldn't the circumstances of compulsory service, actual duties, volunteering, ideology, and post-service ties be carefully examined?

Families across Canada are facing uncertainty because fathers were once legally compelled to complete military service in Iran. Their children were born or raised here.

Conscription is not recruitment.
Forced service is not voluntary membership.
Canada must assess former Iranian conscripts case by case.

Someone forced by Iranian law to serve is fundamentally different from someone who voluntarily joined the IRGC.

Mandatory conscription is not voluntary IRGC membership. Iranian men can be legally forced into military service and assigned to the IRGC without choosing it.

@UCAN_Advocacy PFLs and PR rejections are crushing the innocent lives of IRGC conscripts. This is not justice—it’s a political error.

کوشیار جان ، نمیدونم از این ماجرا خبر داری یا نه؟ کلی از بچه های متخصص تو‌ کانادا به خاطر این ناحقی گرفتار شدند. مطمئنم شما نسبت به سربازی آگاهی. سرباز وظیفه هیچ وقت عضو هیچ ارگانی نبوده. الان نوبت این بچه هاست. صدای بی صدایان باشیم✌️

Absolutely horrific! @shuvmajumdar, hope you read this post.
Issuing over 500 PFLs to former Iranian conscripts just in two days indicates anti-terrorism mottos are just a public show!
Not only are there no pragmatic actions toward that goal, but the gov victims who have been victimized by repressors.

Mandatory conscription was not a choice. People should not be punished for service they were forced to perform. Canada must act with fairness, consistency, and humanity.

[Alimo @Alimo5656]

@UCAN_Advocacy How can Canada ignore the difference between IRGC command and IRGC conscripts?

@UCAN_Advocacy Canada promised to protect victims of the IRGC—not punish them.

Yet former Iranian conscripts who had no choice but to complete mandatory military service now face rejections and PFLs.

Why are they being treated as willing IRGC members?

@LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @pfragiskatos

[Manabh74🇮🇷🇨🇦 @manabh742982]

@UCAN_Advocacy Stop labeling mandatory conscripts as IRGC members just to inflate enforcement numbers. They were forced to serve—they are victims, not terrorists.

[Erfi @ereb1986]

@UCAN_Advocacy Please address the PFLs now being issued to former Iranian mandatory conscripts over compulsory IRGC service. They did not voluntarily join the IRGC or choose their assignment. Canada must distinguish forced conscription from voluntary membership.@Joanne_NL

[Leohopkinz🍁 @Leohopkinz1]

@UCAN_Advocacy Canada has every right to protect its security by designating the IRGC. But while some former regime insiders face little scrutiny, conscripts who were forced into mandatory service, not members, and have no real connection are being treated as if they’re guilty.
@RamJoubin

[Maryam @Maryam9pd4]

@UCAN_Advocacy An Iranian has already lost 2 years of their life to forced military service. They had no choice. Don’t punish them and their families again for where they were forced to serve. Target real, voluntary IRGC ties—not victims of conscription. @MarkJCarney @AliEhsassi

[Melika @Melikao2ax]

We have spent years building our lives in Canada—working, contributing, following the rules, and believing in fairness.

Now, former mandatory conscripts and their families are receiving PFLs and living through unbearable uncertainty and emotional distress.

We never chose the IRGC. We were conscripts. We are asking Canada to remember the fairness and case-by-case assessment we were promised.

Please don’t let years of our lives and our families’ futures become the price of something we never chose.

[Shekoufa @Shekoufaa]

@UCAN_Advocacy For years, these families have worked, studied, raised their children, and built their future in Canada. Now, many are facing PFLs because of mandatory military service they had no choice in completing.
Isn’t fair?
Families deserve clear answers and a fair process — not fear
