Mina Esteghamat , an environmental scientist with a PhD in agroforestry, was director of the Center for Conservation and Development of Sustainable Ecosystems , or ZIPAK , in Iran .

She arrived with her daughter Afra in February 2024 under Canada ’s temporary resident visa program.

Canada opened its arms to Iranians after a young Kurdish - Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini , died after being detained by Iran 's “morality police” in 2022 .

Esteghamat and Afra are separated at a time when public attitudes toward immigration are at an all-time low.

Javdani said the program was strategically designed to attract large numbers of Iranians .

He believes it could be tens of thousands of Iranians who would bring large sums of money and accept low-paying jobs.
