FILE - A Canada Border Services Agency patch is seen on an officer in Calgary, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019. Attia Elserfy was expecting a second lease on life when he escaped Egypt with his family, landing in Vancouver in October 2018.
“It's making me feel crazy, because it's not the democratic Canada that I expected,” Elserfy said in an interview through an Arabic interpreter. “It makes me feel like I'm still living under the authoritarian regime that I escaped from.” “We urge the government to ensure that Canada remains a welcoming place for refugees, especially for those who advocate for democracy in their own country,” Davies said.The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows for Canada to deem a refugee applicant inadmissible if there are reasonable grounds to believe the individual may have been “engaging in an act of subversion against a democratic government, institution or process as they are understood in Canada” or in terrorism.
Sissi's government has since labelled the Brotherhood a terrorist organization and cracked down heavily on its members. Its members were among 14 activists sentenced to prison in March, after what Amnesty International said was the violation to their rights to a fair trial. Elserfy said he received preliminary approval for his refugee status application in March 2019, when a CBSA officer intervened and conducted an interview.
Elserfy's three children did gain refugee status in March 2022, but the CBSA vetting process was so intense that one child developed suicidal thoughts, he said.
The Arabic world is in a take over of western civilization with out firing a shot. Populate, move into politics teach immigrants how to abuse our welfare system demand their own laws and on and on it goes
They're never happy just one more thing on the list to fix for them
They are indoctrinated before arriving in Canada. Seek8ng asylum then calling 'Islamophobia?' 🙄🙄🙄🙄
FakeNews GovernmentMedia Marxism
Perhaps they should try another country more to their liking then. They should be happy to be here.
Stop engaging in terrorism then.
They all must go back
Can always go to Russia
Of course they do because everyone knows victims are cherished in Canada. Any opportunist can have anything they want. Just scream racism!
Oh of course. Because that term isn't totally overused or anything. It's always the first card a Muslim reaches for when they don't get what they want in this country.
Isn’t that convenient
The only reason they're upset is that they know how easy it is to rip this country off. If I was an immigrant I wouldn't come here because of wages and taxes. US is still 1 .....curious why Islamic ppl to emigrate to Islamic countries? Wouldn't they fit in better?
They know exactly what to say! Will Canada 🇨🇦 continue to be weak?
When they start saying this refuse them or it will be years of law suits saying Islamophobia
'The Canada Border Services Agency challenged both Attia and his wife's admissibility as refugees over their ties to a political party outlawed by the Egyptian government'. How is this Islamophobia? People really love throwing the victim card all will nilly. How pathetic.
Other, more accommodating, countries are available for your comfortable 'asylum.
The best way to stir up islamaphobia is to constantly accuse people of it and talk about it, and make sure to publish stories about Islamic people accusing them of it. Eventually people get angry of being stereotyped.
Maybe cbsa is just doing their job? We don’t need to pay another 10 million to a terrorist!
You might want to bring to their attention the two terrorism related arrests that occurred in the past two weeks. Please let them know that Canadians are equally concerned about having their throats slashed on a transit bus.
Whatever that individual can shut up and go back home if he dont like it here.
It’s about time we shut the gaping holes.
Nope. Take crazy somewhere else. We’re full up.
good
Oh, it's the oldest ones in the book. just ignore it
CTV 💩 stop your propaganda!
How many safe countries did these freeloaders cross over to get to Canada? They should be deported back to Egypt.
Ah, yes, I see they've already figured out how to work the system here
Who cares..god dammit this country
Interesting you insult the people of the country you are trying to seek asylum. No we have laws which you don’t have in Egypt. So be respectful and frankly we don’t want your attitude here. You’ll just keep abusing Canadians and calling us scum.
CTV should have called it as it is: a coup! Don’t play words and say it as it should have been said “a coup”
Of course they do, they know liberals will cover in fear at that word and give them everything hey want.
ACTUALLY, ITS FAR LEFT CTV
Not even here and already trouble. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
Send them all home now others too
If you don’t meet the criteria you go home.
Well there's the door. Free to leave anytime but of course they won't because they want access to all the benefits that they've never contributed into.
right , they always cry that when they don't get their way
So maybe they should just... go tf home.
PierrePoilievre JustinTrudeau strategy to win elections. Stir up hate, division, and dear and differences
Should’ve gone to India.
So turn around and go back to Egypt.
Screw'em and send them back.
Quote from Trudeau probably
It sometimes seems like ctv WANTS to get ratioed.
Ummm , who did they learn this from ? Lol.
We’re full.
Its ok they'll be housed and taken care of for the rest on their day... You're welcome
If canada accepts every refugee, the country will soon have 4 billion people. You can bet most people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Latino countries ... Will show up at the borders.
Oh really, yet they are the same ones most desperately trying to get into our country. Perhaps it is a good thing Canada be seen as a racist country so it would lessen the refugee burden as they can go elsewhere.
It's the sockboy way...
So it’s perfectly okay to give asylum to people who have zero respect for the LGBTQ+, and also have ties to a terrorist group but it’s a complete outrage if a hockey player doesn’t put rainbow tape on his stick for a 20 min warm up…..🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Send them home
Coming to Canada is a privilege, not your right.
If they wanted a new country that respects democracy and the rule of law, they should not have come to Trudeaus Canada.
finally
Wah wheres my free everything
They’ve learned quickly.
They know the game.
If they are already bitching about fake 'islamOpHobIA' (a made up word intended to silence others), then deport the lot of them.
Send them back
In Canada, they can apply for MAID for such pains.
Of course they do.
Maybe they would be more comfortable in an Islamic country... like Egypt.
Send them home. Egypt is not an unsafe country and there is zero reason any refugee should come from there. If they want to bypass the legal immigration system they should be permanantly banned from canada
No one cares anymore. Feelings don't matter in times of war
If you dont like Canada, go somewhere else.
Literally.
Good.....WAY to many here already. Time for a ban.
Egypt may seize all their assets now, but wait until they find out the Liberal government basically does the same thing, only slower.
Imagine illegally walking into a country and making demands? Send the ingrates home.
What's wrong with Syria ?
They learned from the best!
They flew over plenty of safe countries they could have sought asylum at. If they’re seriously seeking asylum they should be heading to the closest “safer” country. Inform them of the proper immigration process and then turn them around.
They can go to Saudi Arabia.
Go back to Egypt and fix your own country. You show up on our shores with your palms pointed up and screaming discrimination.
Invoke the Islamophobia card, the meaning of which no one knows. 'You people' will make fine citizens.
Islamophobia is a made up word to stop people from asking questions and holding people accountable!
They know that made up liberal term in Egypt?!
Why don’t you immigrate LEGALLY, instead you stick the finger at our laws as your first act on our soil. You’re not here for asylum, you’re here for economic reasons; get in line.
They hand out pamphlets upon arrival with catch phrases to use. Liberals are still mad the conservatives gave them guns
Why wouldn’t they decry ? The world knows that Canada is a joke now and liberals cave into minorities
Get away from my beautiful country illegal immigrants
Here we go again...Trudeau started this by paying terrorists 10s of millions. ThanksTrudeau
It's always some kind of phobia
So what? Crying Islamophobia isn't going to make me side with the so-called asylum seekers.
Bahahah bahahah lolololol you bunch of divisive LIARS!
Why is it illegal, even if someone WAS afraid of scientology, hare krishna, or any religion?
Why are Egyptians trying to claim Asylum in Canada? They are not under any threat in their own homeland...
Everything is racist in justin Trudeaus banana republic also I’d you don’t like the rules fuck off over there and when you get there keep fucking off some more
Nobody is forcing you to come here. If you don’t like the rules, leave.
Then… go back to Egypt? 😂
Wait! Is there no 'safe' Arabic country? Why would Egyptians be on Canada's border expecting Canadians to bow to their culture? Did they expect a Mosque at Roxham Road? They already have baggage handlers. Arabic countries need to reform themselves so they don't create refugees.
Where is our border with Egypt?
Then go back to fucking Egypt.
Another 'stirring the pot' story from CTV.
They arrived in Oct 2018, and still need an interpreter? Shouldn’t they have learned English and/or French in 4 1/2 years? Not learning our language is not a good sign.
Send them back then...
Someone gave them the “Magic word “
Well tell them to FO. Problem solved.
Don’t let the door hit them in the way OUT. No sympathy.
It seems so easy to cry out 'Islamophobia', yet Jews are the most targeted hate crimes per these stats. Others have gone down. Their accusation is ridiculous.
As an Egyptian, this guys seems shady AF if he has ties to the Muslim brotherhood which is a terrorist organization.
Why don't we just become a God damn Islamic country at this point? Every god damn Muslims are complaining about Islamophobia this and islamophobia that. We are sorry that we don't bow down to all of your god damn ridiculous demands. Seriously...at some point, enough is enough.
Saying that out of frustration that everyone has the same process to enter and when you don’t get in right away you call racism. Then Canada seems to be better off without someone calling racism every time they don’t get what they want
Then…. Leave!!!
Haw? Canada accept more asylum seekers per capita than probably any western country in the world and people are screaming racism? I would describe that as the opposite.
Islamophobia my ass . Send them back to where they come from fools.
So stay in Egypt which is Christianophobic
Ridiculous!
CBSA does not have jurisdiction in a case like this. The Immigration and Refugee Board decide if the person is granted refugee status. If CBSA considered them inadmissible under section 34/35 of the IRPA, again, the IRB has the final say. This is not on the hands of CBSA
Not just Canada’s border agency🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🖕
Asylum seekers… No other closer countries to escape to?
It's not Islamophobia. That just how ppl with a badge in Canada treat those around them.
Screw em. Go pull that ridiculous bs somewhere else.
Yet they still decided to enter Canada 🤔
🤣 did they ask here they were from
Nice, let's get christian and hindu symbols in Egypt considering the high level of religious tolerance they have. Also, asylum has nothing to with religion. We have a lot of Muslim brothers and sisters in this country
Yes, because Canada 🇨🇦 is very worried about what an Islamic extreamest thinks about our immigration process! FFS - go away!!!!
Starts complaining even before they arrive
Sorry we don't need anymore victims
Sure
5 years and he hasn't bothered to learn English at all?
Why are they so interested to come to this islamophobic society?!! Oh, they are already on welfare…
Oh well, find another country ..
In September 2013 a Cairo court formally restored the ban on the Muslim Brotherhood, freezing the activities of the group and all its affiliated organizations. Later the MB was officially designated a terrorist organization; Egypt was the second country to do so at the time.
3 years and still needs an interpreter, what a wanker.
It's definitely a thing here in Canada and especially in 'enforcement'. Perhaps it's time we did something about it so people can't use it
Wow. Seems like they have been following our news and how we 'bow down' to having these types of allegations thrown at us. I'd suggest they send them back and have them on a lifetime ban to even visit the country.
Show him the door.
If Egyptians find Canada so Islamophobic and hateful then, why are they here. Egypt is a country full of Islamists that love Islam. It is crazy to leave a loving country like Egypt for a backward hatemongering country like Canada. As well, in Egypt your free to hate Jews.
Shit, they got us.
The Muslim Brotherhood is considered a terrorist org in 🇨🇦 as well as many associated groups He is linked to a terrorist party - keep him out and let the ones not linked to terrorism in
Sounds like they are doing their job to me
Their frustration and grief are understandable but crying racism is plain wrong. CBSA is following the same policies that apply to everyone seeking asylum. It isn’t racist, and its not a phobia, they aren’t afraid of islam or muslims, they are enforcing Canadians laws.
Sugar the pill.
Well pick a different country if you don’t like the rules and laws
If Canada is so awful then maybe they should take their asylum shopping scam to another country.
Oh well.
Yeah,, sure they did,,, ok then
Seems like there must have been a 'safe country' between here and Egypt that could have gone to? Already causing trouble before getting in, I say we give these ones a hard pass. and tell them to go elsewhere. But yayyy, they have already figured out how to get welfare,
Oh fuckin well
Oh no, the laws apply to everyone equally
They must have been sent for DEI training by the Liberals prior to begging at our border for a free pass.
Come on your bunch of rednecks. You’re embarrassing us all, as usual.
Because they’ve learned from the west when people claim racism when they don’t get what they want
Tell them to leave then.
Send them right back!!!! If they think this shit!!!
Tell them to bugger off. We don't need any more asylum seekers here!
cool there is so many country for you to go to.. no need for you ton come here
Yeah there's lots of Islamophobia here. Try Saudi Arabia which is the beacon of Islam and very close to Egypt. 🤭
How dare you not let me in illegally. Shame, Shame ,Shame 😂😂😂
So? If they're calling out your imaginary friend, then leave the imaginary friend behind. Religious faith deserves no respect, protection, honour or dignity. When you're 3 and have a magical blanket, it's cute, when you're 19 it's pathetic, grow up and leave your delusion.
Fucking 'islamaphobes'. The religion of peace.
Nice try….. Now try the front door entrance, like every other new citizen had to use!
Good. Let this be a lesson to you. Support those organizations and you can never come to CANADA.
Made up word 😂
They come here. They do not respect our customs, cultures and laws. But, they want us to respect theirs in our own country. If we don't, we are racist and Islamophobic!!! 🤯
This fools think Canada is democratic state ? 😂😂😂😂😂🎪🤡
When in doubt yell 'RACISM' to get attention...
Thanks CTV for making the word racism and islamophobia mean nothing. Cry wolf.
See yah go home.
Of course they do. Always the RACE CARD with gimeegrants
Go back to Egypt, the Welfare office is closed. TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauChineseAsset TrudeauNationalDisgrace TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauOutOfControl
No tears!!!! Stay where you are!!! There are many muslim nations who can take you in!!!
Those dam infidels!
I hear Muslim nations don’t have a problem with this made up word. Killing gay people, subjugating women, abusing children, etc but no islamophobia unless of course your from the wrong tribe. Maybe try one of those bastions of human rights, I’ll hold the door so it doesn’t hit u.
“Illegals upset they got caught”
Ffs
Have they ever really apologize for 9-11?
Asylum? Yeah yeah. No.
Bullshit go back to your country if it’s bad here go back
They know the racket. They're shoo ins
Well they can fuck off back to where they came from than. We are full.
Lol sure
Coached by a Liberal?
It’s getting just as bad as pulling the race card. It’s not islamphobia, we are full and can’t take anymore. Fix your own country while we try to fix ours. Keep voting liberal!!
No one wants them
This may persuade Charlton Heston to come out of retirement and renew his role as Moses .
Fast learners.
Oh that's powerful! I see they've taken grievance studies prior to entry. Good play. Year 1 lesson 1: 'There is no defense against this because your accusation and your identity are all the proof you need.' 'News media will take over from there.'
Today they’re Asylums seekers. Tomorrow they’re trouble makers. Look at European countries and the mess they are creating .
No way lol Canada is Islamic country lol
They can FO and keep on going
Because of course.
