۱- به نظر شما مهمترین مشکلاتی که جامعه ایرانیان کانادا در شرایط کنونی با آن مواجه است چیست؟

۲- از نظر کیفی، مشکلات مذکور به چه میزان اثر بازدارنده بر موفقیتهای فردی و اجتماعی آن بخش از اعضای جامعه داشته است؟

(اختیاری) ۳- کنگره ایرانیان کانادا به چه نحوی می بایست این مشکل/مشکلات را در رایزنی های سیاسی و اجتماعی مد نظر قرار دهد؟ 

لازم به ذکر است این برنامه برای شرکت عموم آزاد است. از آنجا که هدف این برنامه مشورت عمومی است برای راحتی و اعتماد شرکت کنندگان در ارائه نظرات خود این برنامه به هیچ عنوان ضبط تصویری نمیشود. گزارشی از نظرات طرح شده از طریق کنگره ایرانیان کانادا در اختیار علاقمندان قرار خواهد گرفت.
