Given the increasing and sheer volume of people that are let in, I doubt that much screening is done at all. This was just a few weeks ago.

The federal government is declining to explain how a Toronto man was able to immigrate to Canada despite allegedly having taken part in ISIS violence overseas.

Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, has been charged with committing an aggravated assault for the so-called Islamic State. The alleged incident took place outside Canada in 2015.

Sources have told Global News the charge stems from a video released by ISIS that year that shows a man dismembering a prisoner with a sword.

The RCMP arrested Eldidi and his son Mostafa, 26, at a hotel north of Toronto as they were allegedly about to commit a terrorist attack for ISIS. Police seized a machete and axe at the scene.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada also did not answer questions, nor did the office of Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, which referred the matter to the RCMP.

Kelly Sundberg, a professor at Calgary’s Mount Royal University, called it a blunder by a security screening system he said was inadequate and under-resourced.

“It’s a horrible failure,” he said.

Three sources told Global News that before they were taken into custody, the father and son had allegedly recorded a video showing them holding bladed weapons in front of an ISIS flag.

The four-minute video, titled “Deterring Spies,” shows a prisoner allegedly confessing before being led outside. He then appears suspended from a crucifix-like structure in the sand.

Arabic script in the video says that enemies of God are to be killed, crucified or have their hands and feet cut off. A middle-aged man is then shown wearing a black cap bearing the ISIS logo.

Using a sword, he hacks the hands and feet off the prisoner. His face is briefly visible in the video. It is unclear whether the victim was still alive during the incident.

A chronology tabled at the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security shows Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi landed at Toronto’s Pearson airport on Feb. 5, 2018 and made a refugee claim that was accepted in February 2019.

He became a Canadian citizen in May 2024, after the Canadian Security Intelligence Service screened him and “returned a favorable recommendation,” according to the timeline tabled by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan was arrested along with three other individuals in Ormstown, Que., on Wednesday, September 4 after travelling from his home in Toronto.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller said this week that Khan entered Canada on a student visa.

Khan, also known as Shazeb Jadoon, arrived in Toronto on June 24, 2023, one month after receiving his visa.

CBC News has reached out to several post-secondary institutions in the Toronto area. None of them agreed to comment on whether Khan was enrolled there.

He is the third person to be arrested in recent months and accused of plotting attacks on behalf of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The Trudeau government launched a review of its screening procedures after the arrests of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son Mostafa Eldidi, 26, in Toronto in July. They are accused of plotting an attack on Canadian soil.

In that case, Canadian authorities were alerted by France after the Eldidis had been cleared by Canada's security screening.
