The Research Directorate found a list of mosques in Metro Toronto, but it is impossible to determine whether this list is complete, or which of the mosques are Shi'i.
The one mosque that is clearly Shi'a is the Ja'ffari Islamic Centre (Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto) located at 7340 Bayview Avenue in Thornhill, Ontario, L3T 2R7.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
