The Egypt-born father and son accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS successfully passed through multiple immigration and security screening steps, a timeline of events released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) indicates.
The “Immigration Chronology Review” was produced by IRCC with support from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Some information was withheld to respect criminal proceedings and privacy rules, and to protect sources and investigative techniques.
The following IRCC timeline, edited for brevity and clarity, outlines the immigration process for Ahmed Eldidi and Mostafa Eldidi. Both men were arrested and charged on July 28 with several terrorism-related offences. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
IRCC reviewed the file for any concerns about “inadmissibility, credibility, or program integrity” that would require further investigation by IRCC or CBSA. “No additional concerns were identified,” said IRCC.
The claim was deemed eligible for referral to the Immigration and Refugee Board. CSIS and CBSA screen all in-Canada refugee claimants and they provided a favourable recommendation for Ahmed Eldidi.
