On November 4, 2025, CJPME sent a letter to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow to thank her for her remarks recognizing Israel's genocide in Gaza. View letter in pdf format.

This report examines the ways that Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has failed to reunite Canadians with their Palestinian family members stuck in Gaza through the Temporary Resident Visa Program for Gazans (TRV), as Israel wages a plausible genocide and campaign of mass starvation. The TRV program is a special immigration measure launched by IRCC in early 2024 to save family members of Palestinian Canadians subject to a genocidal assault in Gaza.  Access the full report here.

It has been over 20 months since Canada committed to evacuating 5000 family members of Palestinian Canadians under the Gaza Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) Special Measures for Extended Family Program. For almost two years, Palestinians in Canada have gone through stress, hardship, and loss, watching their loved ones endure unspeakable violence. Thousands have been subjected to invasive security screenings, forced separation, and rampant anti-Palestinian racism because of this program. Palestinians and allies alike have shared their stories of pain and indignity continually, and still thousands of families wait for reunification in agony. This is not a policy debate — it is a matter of life and death. Canada cannot claim to stand for human rights and equality while it abandons Palestinian families to die while endlessly waiting for visas.  We are asking you to call on your leaders to live up to their commitment by sending an email to the Ministers of Immigration, Foreign Affairs, and Public Safety demanding that they immediately take tangible steps to open an evacuation corridor, humanize application requirements, and establish a long-term immigration stream for Palestinian families.

Israel’s Illegal War on Iran Factsheet Series No. 251, created: June 2025, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East   View factsheet in PDF format CJPME Factsheet 251, published June 2025: Amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Iran regarding its nuclear program, Israel launched airstrikes on June 13, 2025, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure. Without evidence, Israel claimed the assault was a “pre-emptive” measure to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. In the first week alone, Israel’s strikes have killed hundreds of Iranian civilians.[1] Iran responded with ballistic missile attacks, triggering a series of escalating exchanges which could lead to a catastrophic regional war.
