He is too young to understand words like "inadmissible" or "background check," but he is old enough to stand in the cold outside IRCC holding a sign. 💚

This child should be worrying about school, not whether Canada will tear their family apart. Their father was forced to serve a regime he never supported. Why must innocent children pay the price? Please see the human lives behind these immigration files. 💔🇨🇦

Mr. Ehsassi (@AliEhsassi ), and Mr. Esmaeilion (@esmaeilion), please look closely at this photograph.
This child should be enjoying childhood, not standing outside an IRCC office holding a protest sign, worried about their family’s future. When you advocated for the IRGC’s designation, you said you asked the gov to exempt conscripts. Yet, critical questions remain unanswered.
Why was no representative of conscripts or their families included in those discussions?
Who was there to explain the realities of compulsory service?
What role did the testimony and publications of individuals such as Golkar and Arabi play?
Hundreds of Iranian families are now facing devastating uncertainty. The gov remains accountable for its decisions. But those who participated in the advocacy process also owe these families transparency about what was presented, whose voices were heard, and what efforts are being made to address the consequences.
This child deserves answer.

Day 1 of a 3-day peaceful gathering in Ottawa.
Families of former Iranian conscripts are outside IRCC and CBSA offices, speaking for thousands across Canada who disclosed their conscription honestly and transparently—yet face inadmissibility findings that affect their entire families including minor children.
Evidence from affected families shows that conscription alone is being treated as IRGC membership, despite previous assurances from the government.
Our request is simple: meet with IRCC senior decision-makers, explain how these cases are assessed, and listen to affected families.
Canada must have clear guidelines that distinguishes forced conscripts from voluntary IRGC members. Fairness, transparency, and family unity matter.

We are here together today, families, workers and friends, with one request: clear guidelines for Iranian conscripts. Compulsory service is not membership, and officers need written guidance that says so.

Not every person who served had a choice. Iranian conscripts need fair consideration of why they served, what their circumstances were, and who they are today.

Our peaceful sit-in in Ottawa demands a clear solution. Forced conscription does not mean voluntary IRGC membership. IRCC must hear us.

Being compelled to serve is not the same as choosing to belong. We ask Canadian decision-makers to recognize this difference and examine each case on its own merits.
