e-1805 (Immigration)
E-petition
Initiated by Narges Mahmoudi from Calgary, Alberta
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Many members of the Iranian-Canadian community have seen their visa, permanent residency, and citizenship applications take significantly longer than the average processing times made available by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada;
- The government has admitted that there have been delays in processing the permanent residency applications for Iranians;
- The government has been unfair and unreasonable in the allocation of resources to process legal immigration applications, including moving department staff; and
- The government has not been transparent with the Iranian-Canadian community regarding the process for the selection of additional security screening.
We, the undersigned, the Iranian-Canadian community, call upon the Government of Canada to 1) resolve the existing prolonged delays in the process of visa, permanent residency (QSW, PNP, and EE streams), and citizenship applications; 2) release data regarding the delays and be transparent with the Iranian-Canadian community regarding their applications; and 3) provide clear timelines for all steps including security checks for all applicants.
