Stealthy Iranian Infiltration

"A significant proportion of the migrants use facilitators to enter Canada. Information provided by the migrants on their smugglers suggests possible links to organized criminal elements both within and outside of Canada.
"While Iranian irregular migrants mainly enter Canada to make refugee claims, it is possible that certain individuals may enter with more sinister motives."
CBSA report, Irregular Migration of Iranians to Canada

"They are a sophisticated intelligence service, almost first order. They would use all those classic methods of inserting operatives."
Ray Boisvert, senior CSIS officer, retired

Yet another internal Canadian intelligence report on the Islamic Republic of Iran, as it impacts on Canadian security. Border Service intelligence vetting itself and its penchant for sympathetically entertaining Iranian refugee claims, most citing persecution based on religion, political opinion or sexual orientation. With a staggeringly high refugee acceptance rate of 86%, double those of most other countries.

A mutual vendetta exists between the two countries. Canada, as a free democratic pluralist nation offering equality under the law to all its citizens, has a well-earned and dismally low regard for the Islamist culture of theocratic dominance that tyrannizes its people and uses the law for its very own diabolical ends. The country excels in oppression, in its resolve to strong-arm its neighbours into the submission of recognizing it as the regional caliphate.

Like most of its neighbours with whom its relations have hit rock bottom in a celebration of sectarian dysfunctional hatred, it institutionally tolerates no other religions to defile the supremacy of universal Islam. And those of its own whose notion of Islam is that of a peaceful, brotherly religion, one which permits its faithful to make common cause with the rest of humanity, are exposed to the rough side of state 'security', facing imprisonment, torture, even death.

Death is the singular reward meted out to those, regardless of age and position in life, who dare criticize and oppose the Supreme Leader and his Guardian Council, let alone the authority of the Republican Guard. The penalty for homosexuality is fairly final, as is that for flaunting the 'social decency' rules of Shia-led Islamism intolerant of defiance of a stifling dress code and even more stifling social code of public behaviour.

Canada's efforts within the United Nations to guide the general membership to a yearly accounting of Iran's offences against humanity, including its public-enough support for Islamist terrorism has led the Republic to naming Canada as a human-rights abusing nation, demonstrating the Islamist penchant for defending themselves by painting their detractors in the same language of rejection they experience, but with more lurid overtones.

The Canada Border Services Agency intelligence report indicates that some Iranian nationals who mostly arrived in Canada absent legitimate travel documents had been declared "inadmissible", since 2008, on security grounds. Our geographic partner to the south has been "increasingly concerned that Iranian secret operatives and Hezbollah, their 'terrorist proxy force', may carry out attacks in the U.S." With good reason. Canada is officially aware, as would be the United States, that Hezbollah supporters have indeed infiltrated Canadian society.

Hezbollah, the report stressed, is well versed in the time-old espionage art enabling them to "alter and steal travel documents, passports and visas." The CBSA Migration Intelligence Section had written the "Irregular Migration of Iranians to Canada", for the purpose of alerting Canadian authorities. Released to authorities a year ago, it has just now come to public light, through a specific request under the Access to Information Act.

Iran's invidious nuclear program for which it has been under a series of United Nations-sponsored and United States-led sanctions, has not led to its complete censure in the grave and stately halls of the United Nations, for the country still is permitted to hold executive posts on a number of UN committees, despite the well-known fact that it is on track to developing nuclear warheads, and has threatened repeatedly to destroy a UN-member country.

The Iranian regime busies itself with its control of its population -- lest the green opposition movement that once rallied support to oppose the ruling Ayatollahs and the corrupt election process  that brought a despotic president back to power -- also inflicts itself on expatriate Iranians who fled the country post-Iranian Revolution. Diaspora Iranians holding citizenship in the West are exhorted by Iran's official diplomatic envoys to "resist" Canadian culture and to "occupy high level key positions" in the Canadian government.

"While Iranian irregular migrants mainly enter Canada to make refugee claims, it is possible that certain individuals may enter with more sinister motives" cautions the report.  In 1991 a trained assassin posing as an Iranian refugee entered Canada to take part in attacks on dissidents, his arrival coinciding with a planned visit to Toronto by Salman Rushdie, ordered murdered by a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

"Given the growing number of Iranian nationals seeking refugee status globally, and the relative success with which they travel improperly documented to Canada, they will likely continue to target the country for irregular migration.
"While the total number of Iranian irregular migrants arriving in Canada is relatively small [ about 300 per year], the manner in which they arrive, their success at skirting immigration controls, and the possibility of links to organized crime are of concern."
