As posted earlier, the child Mariam Zayed (6 years old)—the daughter of Canadian citizen, Lubna Aldahleh, and sister to two Canadian first-generation children born in Toronto—has been being DEPRIVED OF THE JUSTICE that should protect every child in Canada, and indeed worldwide.
Although every requested document has been submitted—fully meeting all the requirements to finalize Mariam’s application for the permanent residence to which she has long been entitled under Canadian law—the immigration officer, driven by bias against the "MUSLIM", continues to ignore this complete file and withhold the status that should automatically attach to her Canadian mother, who has resided in Canada for nearly four years.
As a result, Mariam is also losing BASIC RIGHTS, including access to government-basic health care (OHIP) since October 2024, and in May of 2025 the decision was DENIED the application of renewing it.
Does the immigration officer at the Canadian embassy in Jordan truly have the legal authority to behave in this way, or is it simply unadulterated racism masquerading as law and justice?
The refusal to grant the child health-insurance coverage—as shown in the attached letter—arises from Immigration’s failure to issue the routine confirmation that Mariam Zayed’s permanent-residence file is still open and that her application has not yet been refused. Although the officer is fully aware of the DANGER OF DELAYING THESE PROCEDURES (WITHOUT ANY LEGAL REASON)—Mariam will also lose her temporary-visa status in Canada once five years have elapsed since her passport’s issue date, a deadline that falls in early October 2025, roughly four months from now—he has deliberately frozen every legal step needed to grant her permanent residence in Canada.
In previous years, renewing Mariam’s OHIP health coverage required "nothing more than" Immigration sending OHIP a brief letter "confirming" that her permanent-residence file remained "active" and that she was still eligible to complete the process (i.e., that her application had not been refused). Yet the officer to whom the file has been transferred in Jordan remains obstinate, halting all procedures and refusing even to send this confirmation, thereby obstructing the child’s affairs—despite the fact that every document requested to finalize Mariam’s permanent residence has been lawfully provided, on multiple submissions/Replies to IRCC.
The hatred against Muslims confirmed by the Canadian Senate—not only at the individual level within Canadian society but also within official bodies—must be addressed urgently by our esteemed government. Action is needed not merely because the Senate has acknowledged and affirmed this reality, but because our respected government must heed Muslims’ grievances with far greater seriousness and effectiveness.
Since 2023, I have been filing formal complaints about the racism and brutality I face at the hands of those in power who manipulate Muslim cases, yet my case is still being ignored by our honorable government. We will not surrender; we will keep demanding our rights—whatever the cost, whatever the cost.
BUT IS THE REALITY THAT MUSLIMS FACE TRULY CONSISTENT WITH CANADA’S ESTEEMED LAWS? AND DO THOSE IN POSITIONS OF POWER AND INFLUENCE IN CANADA RESPECT THE LAWS THEY SWORE TO UPHOLD—AND THE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS THEY PLEDGED TO FOLLOW—WHEN DEALING WITH MUSLIMS?
Despite official rhetoric denouncing hate, the facts on the ground—and recent parliamentary reports—show that Islamophobia remains deeply embedded in Canadian state institutions, undermining Muslims’ rights, safety, and basic freedoms. (https://sencanada.ca/en/info-page/parl-44-1/ridr-islamophobia/, a 2023 Senate report and the House of Commons Justice Committee’s December 2024 report both acknowledge “alarming and unprecedented levels” of Islamophobia and call on the government to take urgent action. (https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/441/JUST/Reports/RP13263244/justrp26/justrp26-e.pdf) The House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights report (November–December 2024) explicitly recommends that “the government take effective steps to understand and confront Islamophobia in federal workplaces and review the relevant laws and policies.” It further asks, “If the parliamentary committee itself confirms systemic racism within government departments, how can officials deny the problem?”
Despite the previous Prime Minister’s statements on 15 March 2024 (https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2024/03/15/statement-prime-minister-international-day-combat-islamophobia) —the International Day to Combat Islamophobia—and on 29 January 2025 —the anniversary of the Quebec City attack—declaring that “hate has no place in Canada,” security policies, actions on the ground, and the rise in hate crimes reveal a clear gap between words and deeds. (https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2025/01/29/statement-prime-minister-national-day-remembrance-quebec-city-mosque#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWe're%20taking%20action.,policies%2C%20programs%2C%20and%20services)
Even the Special Representative, Amira Elghawaby, on Combating Islamophobia acknowledged, after meeting with the Prime Minister in November 2024, that the phenomenon “threatens our social cohesion.” (https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/combatting-islamophobia-canada/media/meeting-prime-minister-2024.html)
