In this video, I analyze one of the most concerning legal developments in Canada’s immigration system: a Federal Court decision that treats mandatory military service in the IRGC as membership in a terrorist organization. This interpretation represents a major departure from fairness, logic, and fundamental principles of administrative law.
The core issue is this: mandatory conscription cannot be equated with organizational membership. In Iran, young men do not choose where they serve. They do not voluntarily join the IRGC. They do not share its ideology. They do not participate in operations. They do not have decision-making power. Their service is not a sign of loyalty — it is the result of coercion under threat of legal, social, and economic consequences.
