## Resource

Hundreds of Iranian applicants for Canadian permanent residency face deportation fears after receiving letters claiming they may be inadmissible due to past service in Iran’s IRGC — a group Canada now labels terrorist — even though many served only because it was mandatory. For men like Farzin Jafari, who completed two years of administrative duty in 2011, the letter brings crushing uncertainty: he fled Iran seeking safety, only to now risk separation from his family. Officials say the letter is part of routine screening, not automatic rejection, but advocates warn proving innocence after compulsory service is nearly impossible — exposing Canada’s tough security stance against a reality many Iranians can’t escape.
