Canada fails to deport Iranian regime official despite security concerns

GH Immigration Svcs

Canada's immigration system faces scrutiny after the Immigration and Refugee Board rejected the deportation case against Afshin Pirnoon, a former Iranian roads ministry official with alleged regime ties.

Despite 22 years of service to Iran's government and CBSA claims he was a "political asset," the board ruled Pirnoon did not qualify as a "senior official." This marks the fourth failed deportation attempt under a program designed to remove regime members from Canada, with only one successful deportation since 2022, despite identifying 23 suspects.

Security experts warn that this failure compromises national security efforts against a regime known for sponsoring terrorism and targeting critics abroad.
