Three Iranian regime members ordered out of Canada, have visas cancelled
OTTAWA — Three people have been found ineligible to remain in Canada in recent years for being senior officials of the Iranian regime, the federal border agency says. Article content Deportation orders were issued for all three and one has been removed from Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency said Wednesday. Article content In 2022, Ottawa declared Iran's leaders — including senior government and security agency officials — inadmissible to Canada due to involvement in terrorism and human rights violations. Article content Article content The border agency says the designation, which was expanded last year, denies any senior official of the regime access to Canada in the first place. Article content Article content It also allows the agency to take immigration enforcement action against any regime member who came to Canada before or after the designation. Article content The current hostilities between Israel and Iran have drawn more attention to the possible activities of Iranian regime members in Canada. Article content Border agency spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy said the agency works very closely with domestic and international partners by sharing relevant information on border and national security issues. Article content Those efforts include the agency's support for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, which makes decisions on citizenship and immigration applications, including visas, she said. Article content All Iranian nationals must apply for a visa to come to Canada and visa applicants are carefully assessed by the immigration department, she added. Article content Article content The border agency investigates when it becomes aware of a temporary or permanent resident inside Canada who may be inadmissible as a senior official of a designated regime. Article content Article content If the case is well-founded, it's referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board, Purdy said. If the board determines a person is inadmissible, it issues an order against them and the border agency then works to remove them from Canada. Article content As of June 6, about 17,800 applications were reviewed for potential inadmissibility due to possible links to the Iranian regime, while immigration officials had cancelled 131 visas and the border agency had opened 115 investigations. Article content Forty-nine of those investigations have been concluded by the border agency, meaning the individuals in question were either not in Canada or were found not to be a senior official in the Iranian regime and therefore not inadmissible, Purdy said.
