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 🍁

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.

Canada’s own politicians promised IRGC conscripts would be treated fairly. Where are those promises now?

Our request to the Government of Canada is clear: Issue formal, transparent guidelines for IRCC and CBSA that distinguish compulsory Iranian conscription involving the IRGC from voluntary membership or cooperation. Recognize the difference between being compelled and choosing freely. Ensure individual circumstances are considered and provide affected families with greater clarity.

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

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]

How does Canada distinguish an Iranian conscript compelled to join an assigned IRGC unit from someone who voluntarily joined or cooperated with the organization? The government should clarify the criteria through official, publicly accessible guidelines for IRCC and CBSA. Transparency matters when decisions can affect a person's future and their entire family.

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

Immigration and border decisions should follow clear, consistent guidance. We ask the Canadian government to provide IRCC and CBSA with formal guidelines on how to assess past compulsory conscription involving the IRGC, while distinguishing it from voluntary membership or cooperation. Affected individuals deserve clarity about how their circumstances will be evaluated.

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.

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

A person's history deserves more than a label. When assessing Iranian nationals whose connection to the IRGC arose from compulsory conscription, authorities should consider the circumstances of assignment, duties performed, degree of choice, and any evidence of voluntary affiliation. Canada needs a clear and consistent framework for IRCC and CBSA.

[SEYED MOHAMMAD NAJAFI @najafinm]

Policy makers promised to protect conscripts , not paint them as regime supporters. IRGC conscripts were mostly ordinary young people drafted against their will. Forced service is not endorsement. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[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.

#JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[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.

No one should have to prove their innocence for obeying a law they were forced to follow. Canada must distinguish between mandatory conscription and voluntary membership in the IRGC. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

[Babak @BabakNi2584]

Canada needs clear, official guidelines for IRCC and CBSA to distinguish compulsory conscription from voluntary membership or cooperation with the IRGC. Being compelled to join an assigned unit is not the same as voluntarily choosing to join or support an organization. Individual circumstances must be carefully assessed.

[Mozhi @Mozhi1989]

Thousands of Iranian families are facing uncertainty and fear because men who were forced to serve the conscripts in the IRGC are being treated as though they voluntarily supported the regime.

These men did not choose to join. They did not choose their assignments. Yet years later, their families may face devastating immigration consequences for something beyond their control.

Many have built their lives in Canada, worked, paid taxes, and raised children here. Some have openly opposed the Islamic Republic and participated in political activities, including the Lion and Sun movement. Returning to Iran could expose them to arrest, persecution, or serious threats to their safety.

Why should Canadian-born children have to choose between losing their home and being separated from their parents?

No innocent family should suffer because of compulsory military service.

Canada must establish clear guidelines distinguishing forced conscription from voluntary participation.

We are asking for fairness, not special treatment.

These are real families, real children, and real lives at stake.

Please hear their voices before irreversible harm is done.

Nobody is asking for open doors. The ask is fair process: publish clear rules separating forced conscripts from genuine IRGC members, so every case gets an individual, evidence-based assessment instead of blanket punishment. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @monafortier
