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.
