Six-City Protest Across Canada | Vancouver What is happening today is people gathering peacefully to assert one right: to have their immigration applications adjudicated within a fair and reasonable period of time.
Procedural fairness. Natural justice. That is the whole message
Six-City Protest Across Canada | Toronto
We are not asking for special treatment. Our request to IRCC is simple: communicate clear processing timelines. When excessive delays occur, acknowledge them, address the problem, and ensure accountability.

Six-City Protest Across Canada | Vancouver I did everything right, and I am still trapped.
Not a new status — just the visa sticker that lets me re-enter Canada after travelling. Filed Oct 2024, pulled into security screening, 21 months of automated replies.
There were rallies across Canada today, calling for more efficient and more transparent processing of immigration applications, as well as fair treatment in security screening. Some applicants have been waiting for 60 months without an answer.
🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🌹 Today in Ottawa, I stood with permanent residence applicants and their families who are calling for a fairer, more transparent and more efficient immigration process.
Canada is a nation built by immigrants. People come here because they believe in our values—inclusion, fairness, opportunity, the rule of law and respect for every individual.
Security screening is essential to protecting Canada’s national interests and public safety, and I fully support a rigorous process. At the same time, applicants deserve timely decisions, clear communication and transparency. Some of those I met today have been waiting 30, 39, or even 75 months for a response. Behind every application is a person, a family, a career and a future.
Years of uncertainty affect applicants and their loved ones, and risk damaging Canada’s reputation as a welcoming and reliable destination for talent from around the world.
I recognize that IRCC professionals work under significant pressure. The goal is not to criticize public servants, but to encourage meaningful improvements that make the system more efficient, transparent and accountable.
I thank everyone who gathered peacefully and respectfully today. Constructive civic engagement is an important part of Canada’s democracy. I hope this nationwide gathering leads to meaningful dialogue and positive action.

New footage from Mashhad (Jan 8) shows the exact moment regime thugs opened fire on protesters. President Trump, these people trusted your word when you said "help is on the way" and stood before bullets. They didn’t sacrifice their lives for the Strait of Hormuz or a nuclear deal. Funding these mullahs now is a betrayal more shameful than Obama’s.

❌❌ 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؟
Since 2014, I have carried the Lion and Sun flag of Iran to stadiums around the world.
The true national flag of Iran is the Lion and Sun — a historic symbol with centuries of heritage and identity behind it — not the ideological flag of the Islamic Republic with the name of Allah in its center.
To those around the world: understand the current regime’s flag the same way you understand other ideological symbols throughout history, such as the communist hammer and sickle that replaced the national flags of occupied nations. Ideological regimes often replace the historical identity of a people with symbols of their ruling doctrine.
FIFA has no right to erase the real national symbol of the Iranian people from stadiums and international competitions.
A nation’s history, identity, and voice cannot be banned.

تمام سالهایی که برای دفاع از حق زنان میهنم به ورزشگاهها رفتم، یگانه پرچم میهنم را برافراشتم؛ گرچه هیچوقت آسان نبود.
عمداً صندلیام را جلوی دوربینها میخریدم تا تمام جهان بداند پرچم راستین ایران چیست.
جمهوری اسلامی آنقدر از هویت ملی ما میترسد که تمام همّ و غمش سانسور کردن من و پرچم واقعی میهنم بود؛ امری که همیشه برایشان دردسرساز میشد. با این حال، هموطنانم در داخل ایران پرچم را میدیدند و دلگرم میشدند که: «ما ادامه داریم.»
داخل ورزشگاه، از مأمور امنیتی و پلیس گرفته تا نیروهای نظامی را میآوردند تا پرچمم را بگیرن�� و تهدیدم میکردند که مرا از ورزشگاه بیرون میاندازند. اما من همچنان میایستادم.
میگفتند جمهوری اسلامی نمیخواهد این پرچم در تلویزیون دیده شود و من با اطمینان پاسخ میدادم:
«اینجا جمهوری اسلامی نیست؛ هر کاری میخواهید بکنید. من از جایم تکان نمیخورم. اگر میخواهید بیرونم بیندازید، باید مرا روی زمین بکشید.»
هموطن،
ما همه پرچمداران میهنیم و هیچکس نمیتواند ما را خاموش کند. حتی اگر فیفا آن را ممنوع کند، ما یگانه پرچم ایران را با افتخار در ورزشگاهها برافراشته نگه خواهیم داشت.
ما بیشماریم.

Prince Reza Pahlavi: Do not fall into the trap set by provocateurs and regime-linked operatives who have always tried to divide the Iranian diaspora. Much of these efforts aimed at preventing unity are connected to the IRGC’s intelligence network.
If the people of Iran cannot use the internet, the regime, its cronies, and its propaganda machine should not be able to use it either.
Give the regime an ultimatum that if it does not reconnect Iranians to the world, an internet blackout will be imposed on the regime too.
إلى جيراننا العرب: تقف منطقتنا اليوم عند مفترق طرق.
فإمّا طريقٌ يُبقي الجمهورية الإسلامية في السلطة، ويقود إلى مزيدٍ من الجرائم بحقّ شعبنا وشعوبكم.
وإمّا طريقٌ آخر يساند الإيرانيين في استعادة وطنهم من قبضة نظامٍ لا يتمتع بأي شرعية، وهو الطريق الذي سيفتح الباب أمام عودة السلام والاستقرار إلى المنطقة.
