A collective voice of Iranian applicants facing prolonged IRCC security delays. #IranianPRdelays #IranianPRapplicants #WeDemandFairness

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

Don Davies, MP for Vancouver Kingsway, issued a statement supporting those affected by long PR security‑screening delays, calling for fairness, transparency, accountability, and a system that treats people with dignity. #IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

From 3/13 to 5/1, from Ottawa to Vancouver, through winter and early summer, our efforts never stopped. Our voices are being heard — the first English media report is out. Please share and comment to keep our message spreading. Stay strong.#IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

The voices at the Vancouver Art Gallery today are impossible to ignore. We are taxpayers, workers, & families trapped in an endless IRCC security screening nightmare for 20, 30, even 40+ months. We demand fairness, not special treatment. 🛑🗣️#IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

I had hoped to attend this event but was unable to due to a family matter.

I wish the organizers and participants success.

The consequences of prolonged background screening are often not fully appreciated. Security screening delays can lead to family separation, stigma, employment disruptions, and situations where individuals must pay international tuition instead of domestic rates.

In British Columbia, foreign workers and international students who own property are often required to pay the Speculation and Vacancy Tax even when the property is their principal residence. Provincial nominees are temporarily exempt, but only for the year they receive their nomination and the following year. This rule appears to have been designed with standard processing times in mind. For individuals subjected to lengthy, comprehensive background checks, the result can be tens of thousands of dollars in additional taxes.

Thanks @ORourke4Guelph for being our voice.

Stuck in background check for years? That’s not screening, that’s stagnation. Iranian applicants aren’t asking for shortcuts, only answers and reasonable timelines.

Background checks should ensure safety, not erase years of people’s lives. Iranian applicants stuck in endless security screening deserve clarity and fair processing.

Many Iranian applicants in Canada have been stuck in background checks for years.
Behind every file is a person who can’t visit sick parents, attend funerals, plan a future, or feel settled.
These delays don’t just pause applications, they pause lives.

It’s 2025.
Canada can process complex visas in weeks.
But an Iranian PR background check? more that 2 years!?
If the system can handle global cases efficiently, why not ours? The silence is the real problem.

@DanMazierMP If the Minister doesn’t consider healthcare capacity,
should we really be surprised they also don’t consider the massive backlog of Iranian applications?
Capacity issues magically show up only when it’s about helping people.

[Iranian PR Applicants Network @IranianPRGroup]

@CitImmCanada Well, if the numbers are dropping that fast, maybe it’s finally time for Canada to clear the backlog and give Iranian PR applicants the chance they’ve been waiting years for.

[Iranian PR Applicants Network @IranianPRGroup]

Hello Canada! We’re still here — stuck in nonsense “background check.” If paying taxes, studying, working & building a life isn’t enough to prove we exist, what is it?

Skilled #IranianPRapplicants are stuck in limbo.
Delays in processing are impacting families, careers, and hopes.
We are asking for timely and fair decisions.

How is it fair that families wait years with no answers, no timeline, no transparency—while their lives, jobs, mental health, and relationships are all on hold?
We followed every rule. We passed every step.

Why are Iranian PR applicants trapped in background checks for months and years with zero transparency?
Canada claims to stand for human rights, justice, and fairness — yet thousands of Iranian families are left in limbo because of political bias and outdated security procedures.

[Iranian PR Applicants Network @IranianPRGroup]

Imagine waiting 2–3 years for your Permanent Residency in Canada.
You did everything right — studied, worked, paid taxes, contributed.

Then you wake up to see Canada announcing new PR spots for others while your file hasn’t even moved.

This is what Iranian applicants have been living with for years.

Forgotten. Ignored. Invisible.

This isn’t just “waiting” — it’s years of life frozen in endless security screening.
Our future, our plans, our families… all stuck in limbo.
We deserve clarity, not silence.

We respect your mission, but endless silence isn’t safety — it’s suffering.
After years in review, we’re not waiting anymore — we’re withering in limbo.

If you can share “58% drop in asylum claims,” you can also share why law-abiding families with work permits, taxes, and Canadian experience are being ignored.

🇨🇦 Fairness means treating everyone equally — not just posting selective “success” stats.
