Several years ago – when the Syrian war/crisis began – Canada created an immigration policy that would ONLY ALLOW children and adult females from Syria to seek asylum in their country – banning all Syrian adult males – essentially breaking up families. From the perspectives of race, nationalism, ethnicities, sex and gender – what was the logic behind this discriminatory policy?

cutoff in September 2021, Canada did not implement a policy that specifically banned Syrian adult males from seeking asylum. Canada's immigration policies are based on humanitarian principles and do not discriminate based on race, nationality, ethnicity, sex, or gender.

During the Syrian crisis, Canada implemented various programs to provide support and assistance to refugees fleeing the conflict, including the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Program. This program aimed to resettle vulnerable individuals and families affected by the crisis, prioritizing those at the greatest risk, such as survivors of violence, torture, and persecution, as well as those with medical needs. These criteria were not based on gender or age alone but considered the vulnerability and specific needs of individuals and families.
