Methodology
Objective, Merit-based, and Reliable

ICCP’s mission is to document and highlight the professional achievements and contributions of Iranian Canadians to Canada and, by extension, the world.
Our aim is to complement the work of other Iranian Canadian organizations by providing information obtained in a systematic and objective fashion. We are apolitical and secular, having no political inclinations or religious affiliations. The ICCP is Canada’s local hub for documenting and highlighting the contributions made to Canadian society by members of Iranian descent and heritage.
