TORONTO -- Amirhossein Sahragard has only been in Canada for less than a week but -- after nearly seven, harrowing years being detained for seeking asylum -- he’s experiencing joy.
But now, thanks to part of a private sponsorship program, Sahragard is one of two former detainees landing in Canada as legal permanent residents, with the second scheduled to arrive Friday.Sahragard declined to divulge exactly why he fled Iran but said his boat eventually docked on Australia’s protectorate of Christmas Island in July 2013.
During his nearly seven-year detainment, he said people routinely woke up terrified. So Sahragard became morbidly grateful for “one of two hours without nightmares.”'THERE’S NO WORD THAT I CAN GIVE'– an offshoot of the U.S.-based Australian Diaspora Steps Up – which helps connect Canadians with asylum-seeking refugees.
Because Sahragard has permanent residency papers, he’s neither an asylum seeker nor a refugee. Watt explained “they come here with 90 percent of the same rights and privileges as us citizens have -- everything but the ability to vote, as far as I know.”
Why did he decline to say why he left, what he hidding ?...
Check out TorontoStar’s Tweet:
send him back.
Ofcourse come to Canada we take amy one, no check's needed. Thank you Trudeau.
Stop bringing criminals to Canada. They are criminals not productive members of society. Liberals are buying votes with tax dollars.
And immediately subject him to Tim Hortons! He will want to go back to Iran now.
6 years sorry
First question I have is why didn’t Australia allow him in and instead sent him to a prison for 7 years? Second question I have is why won’t he tell why he fled Iran? 🤔 this is shady...
Why didn't he plead asylum in Australia are they not a sovereign country. I that that's how the law works ,you dont get to pick and choose which welfare system your going to take advantage of...
ANOTHER USELESS TRUDEAU BUDDY
Meanwhile in Brampton Ontario Original source:
Seriously, crisis in Iran, on one hand to burn western countries flags there, and then to seek asylum from one of those, makes no sense.
tasjini The prisoners (asylum seekers) face terrible conditions in these 'detention centers'. Thank goodness he is safe.
Welcome to Canada!
So since Australia got swamped with illegal aliens bc of the UN, Canada becomes the dumping grounds for the UN's screw up?
