@CitImmCanada First focus on those who already applied and stuck in your backlog! 10 years in 🇨🇦, earned a PhD in STEM, worked, contributed, paid taxes. My Express Entry PR application is still in process after 42+ months while the gov’t site says 6 months. Living every day with uncertainty.

@smeurrens Furthermore, the data doesn't show the backlog. By only showing "referred" vs. "non-favourable" outcomes, it ignores the thousands of applicants who aren't rejected, but are instead stuck in prolonged, indefinite screening limbo.

[Saeed Alvar @SaeedAlvar]

@smeurrens Thanks for sharing. Raw numbers only tell half the story. Without normalizing this against the total volume of applicants, we miss the real issue: the referral rate for Iranian applicants is disproportionately higher than almost any other nationality.

@VoicesFairCheck Hundreds of PR applicants are facing these prolonged delays, leaving families in uncertainty. We’re asking for a clear timeline so people can plan their lives. Transparency and predictability help everyone.

100+ people gathered in Mississauga to protest against indefinite security screenings. We are not demanding privileges; we were invited to Canada, yet we are left waiting indefinitely. Security screenings must have a reasonable timeframe.#IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

Huge milestone! 🚀 Our petition has been tabled in Parliament. Progress is happening. Let’s keep pushing to make our voices even louder! Join the Toronto Rally on May 28! Check the video from Question Period and see you there! 👊#IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

Today, we gather in Toronto to protest against indefinite security screenings! Every sign and speech here tells the story of our real struggles. We demand that IRCC clear the backlog and stop making applicants suffer. The wait has been too long. #IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

[Saeed Alvar @SaeedAlvar]

@VoicesFairCheck Ottawa, Vancouver, and now Toronto. No matter where people live, these delays are disrupting lives, creating uncertainty, and demanding answers.

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

Those numbers aren't just processing times, they represent the months and years that PR applicants have been left stranded. They did everything right, yet their lives are completely on hold.
Reasonable Timelines Procedural Fairness

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

Applicants are sharing the heartbreaking human stories behind these numbers with the immigration reporter. Endless security screenings have stripped the hope from our lives and careers. But we refuse to suffer in silence.
WE ARE NOT ALONE.
#IRCC #cdnpoli #cdnimm #CBCNews

[Voices for Fair Screening @VoicesFairCheck]

We stand together.
We raise our voices.
IRCC — do you hear us?
To all conference delegates attending today — do you hear us?
Families cannot wait forever in uncertainty.

Attendees of the 21st Annual 2026 National Citizenship and Immigration Conference are arriving one after another — and they are seeing us.
Today, our voices will no longer remain invisible.

[Saeed Alvar @SaeedAlvar]

@VoicesFairCheck Applications should not get stuck in IRCC forever. We need to see a real change in processing times.

[Saeed Alvar @SaeedAlvar]

@VoicesFairCheck Thank you @JennyKwanBC for taking action on PR delays.

[Saeed Alvar @SaeedAlvar]

MP @JennyKwanBC has presented petition e-7259 on delayed PR security screenings. Applicants are demanding accountability and transparency from @CitImmCanada and simply want to know what is happening with their files. Families deserve answers. #cdnpoli

❌❌ تنها یک هفته تا تجمع بعدی باقی مانده است.

از اتاوا تا ونکوور و حالا تورنتو، خانواده‌ها و نیروهای متخصص بیشتری در سراسر کانادا صدای خود را بلند کرده‌اند و خواستار شفافیت، عدالت و رسیدگی به‌موقع به پرونده‌هایشان هستند.

بررسی‌های امنیتی نباید به ماه‌ها و سال‌ها انتظار بی‌پاسخ تبدیل شوند.

پ.ن: دوستان ایا شما اطلاع دارید که برگزار کنندگان این برنامه کیا هستند؟
