ICC Participates in Roundtable with Minister of Immigration; Provides Him with a Letter of Concerns

taken to consideration that the maximum validity of the Iranian passports is 5 years (not 10 years such as many other countries). Therefore, any measure that permits the transfer of validity of a super visa to the next passport would be greatly helpful and also decreases the work load on Tehran Visa office. Federal Process for PNP and Quebec Applications: The current processing time for those applications which already got CSQ or Nominee Certificate is now exceeding 2 years. This is too long specially considering the fact that those who already granted these certificates has been in process for almost another 2 years and many of them has made their pledged investment to receive the certificate. The chaotic situation in Syria has made this even worse. It would be more cost and time efficient if this process could partially, or totally, be handled inside Canada rather than Visa Offices which might be facing the shortage of personnel. However, we understand that some background checks might be done locally in each region. PNP Applications: While Quebec and some provinces such as Manitoba, PEI, still processing new applications from Iranians and just notify the applicant about the restrictions imposed by SEMA and its amendment on Nov. 21, 2011, some others such as New Brunswick denies accepting new files from applicants residing in Iran. Evaluation of Asset for Business Applicants: Considering drastic changes in the exchange rate of Iranian Currency within the past months (devalued to half), many files which has been in line for the past 3-4 years might not qualify anymore. Regarding the fact that such a drastic change in exchange rates makes the market value of the real estate and other assets of the applicants also increased (but not necessarily with the same rate and pace), it might be a fair practice to instruct the officers to make their evaluation of the assets on the date of receiving the file. Banking Transactions: Regarding the fact that almost all the Iranian Banks and major financial institutions are sanctioned by SEMA or U.N. Security Council, we suggest that the Canadian Federal government appoints a Canadian bank as the sole facilitator to handle the financial transfer for those applicants who has investment commitments with the Provincial or Federal government(s). This may also facilitate the transfer of fund for families supporting their student children or pensioners residing in Canada in receiving their monthly pension income. This gradually decrease the burden on Canadian welfare fund while increasing the control of the government and law enforcement institutions on tracking fund transfers and dealing with the money laundry. General Recommendations: -The CIC website should be updated more frequently and giving more details of the actual status of the files. Showing “In Process” does not give any detail about the actual status of the file. This make the applicants frustrated and therefore make them to contact the Visa Posts more often which make the load on officers even higher and consequently resulting in more delays. - We at ICC (Iranian Canadian Congress) would be pleased to provide consultancy with CIC or other bodies in the Ministry to assist them with the Iranian community points of view and concerns in a proactive fashion. The Alarming Situation of Iranian Refugees: As the Canadian government is exploring effective means of pressure to force the Islamic regime to comply with the international laws and above all recognize the civil rights of its citizens it is crucial to remember the role and situation of the Iranian refugees. In our battle to achieve this goal the situation of those who are fighting at this front, alongside us, and are the first target of the violent and brutal treatments of the Iranian regime should be considered first. Though, Canada was the most desirable destination for its values, and support of the vulnerable in the past, it is no more any longer. While many still believe that Canada is still the same peace loving and democratic society that can offer shelter to those who lost their roof for the same belief, the long process of the acceptance makes is unbearable for those refugee claimants. Considering the hard fact that sometimes, after the status have been granted by UNHCR, they have to wait for another year or so just to be called for the first interview makes the picture more clear. These individuals, mostly in Turkey, do not have the financial means to support themselves and in many cases the environment is not safe for them. Ultimately the erosion of all hope and dignity through this process turns them into a hopeless and depressed individual that is extremely opposite of who they were.  While the intention of our government is not only to respect its legal obligations but also maintain its humanitarian reputation, this process should be reviewed and made more effective and time sensitive.
