It's short.
The ICC has five recommendations to remedy this important issue.
The first is to prioritize all the remaining applications that are still in delay so that these files are processed as soon as possible.
The second is to establish a visa application centre in Iran to reduce the rates of comprehensive security screenings for outland applicants.
The third is to ensure that private information that is being gathered by third parties on behalf of the Canadian government is not shared with other countries or third party agencies. This is an issue that's very important to a lot of the applicants, especially in view of the Trump administration's ban on Muslims.
The fourth is to adjust the delays towards the citizenship applications by adding applicants' extended wait times to their citizenship waiting periods. We believe that this is fair.
Last and most important is to stop labelling Iranians as security threats, to provide justifications to the individuals who are being sent for comprehensive security examinations, and to generally be transparent in terms of how individuals are chosen to be sent for comprehensive security examinations.
Thank you.
