Canadian government announces new measures to help travelling Iranians remain in Canada temporarily to avoid political turmoil back home
Iranians who are travelling, studying or working in Canada will be allowed to extend their temporary stays through a new measure intended to make it easierthe change will do nothing to help women stuck inside Iran reach safety or reunite with family.
Outcry against Iran’s religious regime has roiled the country in recent months, and a crackdown on protests there has resulted in arrests and deaths. Mr. Wilkinson said that as the regime continues its brutal repression, some Iranians in Canada may wish to stay here, rather than return home. He mentionedwhose death after she was arrested by Iran’s “morality police” became a rallying point for protesters opposed to the regime’s controls on women’s conduct.
Ms. Gerami said the major obstacle for Iranians trying to come to Canada is visa requirements. She said getting visitor visas or study permits requires them to prove they will be staying in Canada temporarily. She added that she would like to see the government waive that requirement for Iranian women.
Bahoz Dara Aziz, a spokesperson for Mr. Fraser, said the measure announced Thursday is a result of the Immigration Minister’s conversations with the Iranian-Canadian community. “Our government understands and deeply sympathizes with the vulnerable people who remain in Iran and the reality they face while living under a brutal regime,” she said. She noted that Canada has imposed sanctions on Iran.
