On substantive merits, the court has hardened its stance: under Vadiati (2025), mandatory military service in the IRGC can firmly establish inadmissibility under section 34(1)(f), and standard duress arguments are insufficient. However, on administrative matters, the court maintains strict oversight, refusing to allow IRCC to stall applications indefinitely without transparent, justified steps.<\/p>\n<p>If your application is affected by past mandatory service or extensive screening delays, professional legal assessment is essential.
