The federal government has not bowed to demands to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is going to permanently bar about 10,000 members of the Guards from entering Canada.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland had a message for all Iranian-Canadians.
Iranian police have violently cracked down on protests across the country following the death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini last month.
She died two days after she was arrested by Iran's morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely.
