(CTV) The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) confirms it is investigating how dozens of suspected Iranian officials have been allowed to enter Canada, while three individuals have been issued deportation orders and another removed from the country.
Some experts, meanwhile, are warning more should be done to prosecute former Iranian government and military officials living in Canada.
In a statement to CTV News, CBSA spokesperson Rebecca Purdy says all Iranian nationals must apply for a visa to enter Canada, at which point they are “carefully assessed” by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
“Our strong response to suspected senior officials in the Iranian regime remains in place and the CBSA continues to take action to stop them from seeking or finding safe haven in Canada,” Purdy wrote.
