Dear Lubna Aldahleh:
The .....XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...... dated .......XXXXXXXX......., regarding Mariam Zayed’s Permanent Resident (PR) application. I have been asked to respond to you.
I appreciate you sharing the circumstances that prompted your letter. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) understands that an applicant looks forward to their application being finalized, and IRCC makes every effort to manage each application in the most efficient and effective way. However, a number of factors, including the volume of applications or the complexity of an individual case, can make it difficult to finalize an application as quickly as the Department or the client would like.
Maintaining the integrity of Canada’s immigration program is a priority of the Government of Canada. All individuals who want to live permanently in Canada must meet program eligibility requirements, as well as statutory medical, criminality, and security background clearances. These requirements exist to protect the interests and safety of Canadians. The onus rests on the applicants to prove that they have met the requirements for entry to Canada and that admission would not be contrary to legislative requirements.
IRCC conducts background checks by working with partner agencies, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Canada Border Services Agency, medical authorities, and agencies of foreign governments. Background screening processes are non-discriminatory and universal in their application. Any delays that may occur as IRCC’s partner agencies conduct the background checks are beyond the Department’s control.
IRCC records confirm that Mariam Zayed’s application has been referred to the office in Amman for further processing to ensure that the requirements for the eligibility assessment have been met. Of note, the application is pending an Ontario Court Order. Officers will review the application to complete the assessment. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a time for the completion of this review; when an application is referred for further review, the processing times posted on the IRCC Website no longer apply as the application is deemed to be non-routine.
While I understand that this may not be the response you had anticipated, I hope that you will find this information to be helpful.
Sincerely,
********************************************************************************************
Great, background checks, and non-routine processing time! How many times shall they repeat the same process against Muslims?!
Honestly! I cannot ignore this.
Hello,
I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for your email. Nevertheless, I urge you to initiate an investigation into the racism affecting my file and the intentional delay of legal procedures without any lawful or logical basis since 2022 (3 years ago).
Additionally, I urge you to review the reason my daughter’s Permanent Resident application has been stalled since mid-2022. Was the officer’s decision to halt processing lawful, or was it driven by discriminatory motives and personal discretion that contradict Canadian law?
With regard to your note that the officer is waiting for a London, Ontario court order, this is further evidence of discrimination against my faith (Islam) and my identity. Since 2022 the officer has treated me as a criminal and a terrorist solely on the basis of my ex-husband’s accusations, which have no foundation in fact and are unsupported by any judgment in the country where I live.
The racism and abuse of authority have continued since 2022, culminating in a 16-day trial in which I proved my innocence of the kidnapping charge. Although I provided the officer responsible for my daughter’s Canadian immigration file with the final, binding judgment of the Supreme Court of Justice confirming my innocence, I have not received any fair legal action from your department.
In mid-February, I was surprised to receive a request from Immigration for either an agreement between my ex-husband and me or a court order confirming that the current, enforceable custody order grants me sole custody with no involvement from my ex-husband. I supplied clear documentary proof of this. Yet the officer now appears to be waiting for the outcome of a new contempt proceeding—another allegation by my ex-husband aimed at stripping me entirely of custody.
Is it acceptable for a government servant to treat an innocent Canadian Citizen as a criminal when no charge or crime has been proven against her? Is the officer truly waiting for evidence of something that does not exist? Or is your esteemed department unable—or unwilling—to investigate the officer’s racism that has halted my daughter’s application under a legal provision intended only for people who live outside Canada, not within it? Also, they ignored all the current orders regarding the custody; rather are waiting to create any charges against the Muslim Mother!
Or are you waiting for her passport to expire in a few months and for her temporary visitor status in Canada to lapse? Is the officer still seeking additional complications to erect further barriers and deny us our right to justice?
Please do not tell me that you are committed to following proper legal procedures, because the procedural complications my children and I have been facing since 2022—complications that have no basis whatsoever in Canadian law—are a disgrace to everyone who causes them and to anyone who defends them.
Thank you again for your valuable email.

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)
