Justice for Iranian Conscripts

Forced Iranian conscripts are victims, not IRGC supporters. We support Canada's security and IRGC terrorist listing. Forced service ≠ voluntary membership.

[UnheardConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy]

At UCAN’s September 22 gathering on Parliament Hill, the Honourable @AliEhsassi, Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary, spoke about the treatment of Iranians affected by compulsory conscription.

He emphasized that individuals who had no say in where they were required to serve should not be treated the same as genuine members of the IRGC, while also making clear that Canada must continue to take national security seriously and prevent actual IRGC members from entering the country.

His message reflects an essential distinction at the heart of this issue: protecting Canada’s national security and treating compulsory conscripts fairly are not competing objectives. Canada can do both.

We sincerely thank MP Ehsassi for attending, listening to affected families, acknowledging their concerns, and encouraging continued advocacy toward a fair resolution.

Those who had no choice should not bear the consequences intended for those who did.

Being forced to serve is not the same as choosing to join. People deserve to be judged by their actions, not by an assignment they had no control over.

We are asking for a practical solution: clear guidelines that distinguish compulsory conscription from voluntary IRGC membership. Canada can protect its security without treating every former conscript as if their circumstances were identical. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Forced conscription is NOT voluntary membership. Iranian conscripts are victims of the regime, not its operatives. Many are researchers, workers, and taxpayers contributing to Canada. They deserve fairness, not collective punishment.

[🇮🇷Revenge of the Queen🇮🇷 @lady_limitless]

In Iran, refusing forced conscription means no passport, no degree, no job. Canada is now penalizing people for surviving that system. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

Forced into service. Branded for life. Now their children face losing home. Canada, where is the justice in punishing families for a choice they never had? Don’t erase years of hard work. Judge people by their actions.

We call on the Canadian government to issue clear guidelines distinguishing compulsory military service from voluntary membership or cooperation with the IRGC.

Canada needs a clear public framework explaining how forced IRGC conscripts are distinguished from voluntary members. Security and fairness can go together.

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

Behind every unresolved immigration file is a family living with unanswered questions. Parents carry the stress while trying to maintain normal routines for their children. The Canadian government should provide IRCC and CBSA with clear, consistent written guidelines for assessing compulsory conscription cases.

[Hanieh @Haniehu27o]

Canadian courts have long said membership requires more than presence. Forced conscripts had no choice, no role in decisions, and no way out. Apply the law fairly. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

They studied, worked, paid taxes, raised families, and built their futures in Canada.

Now, years of uncertainty threaten everything they’ve built because of compulsory service.

These families deserve fair, individual assessments.
IRGC conscripts are not members. Make a guideline to distinguish them.

Systemic overreach by @IRCC is tearing innocent families apart. Forced conscription is not membership. It's time for Canadian immigration policy to apply basic logic and protect those fleeing authoritarian coercion.

[Kave Ahangar @KaveAhangar92]

Conscripts in Iran fought against the regime's control just to survive. Labeling them "members" of the IRGC misrepresents their past and endangers their future in Canada. It's time for @IRCC to fix this unfair approach.
