Iranian Canadian Congress
About Iranian Canadian Congress
Serving the Toronto, ON community and Iranian Canadians across Canada, the Iranian Canadian Congress represents a non-partisan, non-religious grassroots movement dedicated to building an active and influential Iranian Canadian presence in Canadian civic life. Founded in 2007, this community-driven organization has grown to champion the social, political, and cultural betterment of Iranian Canadians through meaningful engagement and relationship-building. The Iranian Canadian Congress operates on four foundational pillars: advocacy that advances community interests, education that empowers informed civic participation, community building that connects organizations and individuals, and image building that celebrates Iranian culture and values. What sets this organization apart is its holistic approach to integration—recognizing that Iranian Canadians bring valuable skills, perspectives, and cultural heritage to Canadian society. The organization works as a bridge between the Iranian Canadian community and broader Canadian institutions, facilitating dialogue and cooperation at all government levels. By supporting public and private organizations that serve community needs, the Iranian Canadian Congress demonstrates deep commitment to the wellbeing of Iranian Canadians in economic, social, political, and cultural spheres. The organization actively channels community resources and aspirations toward full integration into Canadian civic life, while simultaneously celebrating and promoting Iranian language, history, and traditions. Through volunteer opportunities, membership engagement, and collaborative campaigns, the Iranian Canadian Congress creates pathways for Iranian Canadians to find their rightful place within Canada's multicultural fabric.
