📢 September 22 Press Conference | The Talent Canada Risks Losing At our September 22 press conference on Parliament Hill, Dr. Golbarg Talebian—a physician, mother, and affected family member—shared her story and highlighted a broader reality: Canada risks losing the very talent it actively selected and welcomed. Among the families affected are physicians, engineers, researchers, professors, PhDs, master’s graduates, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled professionals who came to Canada to work, contribute, raise their children, and build their futures. Dr. Talebian herself was selected through Ontario’s Express Entry stream and has spent years contributing to healthcare in Canada. Yet her family’s future is now uncertain because of her husband’s compulsory conscription. These families are not asking Canada to compromise national security. They are asking Canada to distinguish voluntary affiliation from compulsory conscription. “No one should be punished for compulsory conscription—not the person who was forced to serve, not their spouse, and not their children.” Canada should not lose skilled professionals and their families over service they never chose. @MarkJCarney @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @pfragiskatos @jacquesramsaypl @AliEhsassi @melaniejoly @PierrePoilievre @MelissaLantsman @GarnettGenuis @CostasMenegakis @SameerZuberi @vincentneilho @shuvmajumdar #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

FAIRNESS FOR CONSCRIPTS Mandatory service removes choice. That context matters. @gary_srp @FrankCaputoKTN @AHousefather #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

FAIRNESS FOR CONSCRIPTS Chores done as an 18-year-old draftee shouldn't ruin a life in Canada. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @MichelleRempel @JulieDzerowicz @gary_srp @CitImmCanada @jyduclos @LenaMetlegeDiab @BradRedekopp @amansodhilib @jacquesramsaypl

FAIRNESS FOR CONSCRIPTS A wife or child is treated as connected to a terrorist group through the father’s conscription. IRCC, CBSA: one standard for every file, not case by case. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy @CitImmCanada @CanBorder

Supporting Canada’s security and treating families fairly can go hand in hand. Please distinguish mandatory service from voluntary involvement and assess each case individually. FAIRNESS FOR CONSCRIPTS #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @CitImmCanada @annamgainey @CitImmCanada

🇨🇦 UCAN PEACEFUL GATHERINGS | STARTING OCTOBER 28 Given the growing number of inadmissibility findings affecting former Iranian conscripts and their families, UCAN is organizing ongoing peaceful gatherings starting October 28, outside the IRCC and Public Safety offices in Ottawa, with the aim of securing meetings with the Ministers’ offices to address this urgent issue. 📅 Schedule: • Wednesday, Oct 28: 11 AM – 5 PM • Thursday, Oct 29: 9 AM – 5 PM • Friday, Oct 30: 9 AM – 5 PM 📍 Locations: • IRCC: 365 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa • Public Safety: 269 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa The gatherings will continue until meetings are secured as urgent action is needed to prevent further harm to innocent families. @MarkJCarney @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @pfragiskatos @jacquesramsaypl @AliEhsassi @PierrePoilievre @MelissaLantsman @GarnettGenuis @CostasMenegakis @vincentneilho @jamesbezan @BradRedekopp @MichelleRempel @AHousefather @SameerZuberi @StewGlobal @GloboNews @globeandmail @CBCNews #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

To the Government of Canada: My dad has been in Canada for nine years. Why must I grow up without him? I just want to live with my father and brother. Who can I turn to? Who will hear my voice? Please let me be reunited with my family. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAr

GUIDELINE FOR CONSCRIPTS would tell families what evidence matters. Applicants want to show the truth about their service: their duties, their length of service, the lack of choice. But no one knows what IRCC will accept. Publish the standard so families can respond honestly and completely. Please act now. @MonaFortier @MichelleRempel @CostasMenegakis @SalmaZahid15 @annamgainey @rechievaldez #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Every child deserves the chance to grow up beside their parents without fear of immigration rejection. @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @rechievaldez @annamgainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Behind every immigration file is a family stuck in fear and uncertainty. @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @rechievaldez @annagainey @YasirNaqviCDN @LenaMetlegeDiab #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Children should not have to live with the fear of losing a parent because of uncertainty surrounding their parent’s compulsory conscription. This prolonged stress threatens their emotional wellbeing and sense of security. @RechieValdez, please help advance a fair, timely, and humane solution for these families while protecting Canada’s security. STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES. Protect children. Keep families together. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

These families came to Canada seeking safety and opportunity. Their children have built their lives here and deserve consideration. STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @pfragiskatos @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @jacquesramsaypl @jyduclos @RechieValdez @AnnamGainey @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @CitImmCanada #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Children did not choose their parents’ circumstances, let alone a regime’s mandatory conscription policies. Their future deserves careful, fair consideration—not uncertainty caused by blanket assumptions. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @RechieValdez @annamgainey

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES! A child should never have to ask, “Will Daddy still be here tomorrow?” Forced conscription was never his choice. @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @rechievaldez @annamgainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Separating a family does not make Canada safer. It doesn't stop a single real threat. It only means a child grows up with a parent on a screen instead of at the dinner table. Security screening should target people who pose real risks, not break apart innocent families. @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @pfragiskatos @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @jacquesramsaypl @jyduclos @RechieValdez @annamgainey @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @CitImmCanada #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES This is my Canadian-born son, discovering the Canadian flag in his little book, with his baseball beside him. He knows nothing about immigration laws, political decisions, or forced conscription. He only knows the love and security of his parents. Years ago, I was protesting the Iranian regime, never imagining that conscription I had no choice over could one day threaten my future as a father in Canada. Canada is his birthplace, his home, and his future. All I ask is the opportunity to remain by his side, watch him grow, and raise him in the country where he was born. Please don’t let circumstances imposed on me before his birth determine our future together. @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @RechieValdez @annamgainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Iranian families escaped oppression to build a safer future. Don’t tear them apart over forced conscription. We demand clear guidelines @rechievaldez @annamgainey @pfragiskatos @SameerZuberi #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Standing against oppression also means standing with those who were forced to endure it. Protect innocent families. @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @rechievaldez @annamgainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Refusing a family over forced conscription punishes the innocent twice. @pfragiskatos @SameerZuberi @RechieValdez @AnnaGainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPT FAMILIES Women who fled the regime with their husbands deserve protection, not refusal. @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @rechievaldez @annagainey #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
