This is the best summary I could come up with:

The denials at the border and the investigations stem from a measure the Liberal government adopted last year in the midst of widespread protests in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman.

Under pressure from the opposition Conservatives and members of the Iranian-Canadian community to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist entity, the Liberal government instead opted to take action through immigration laws.

In November 2022, then-public safety minister Marco Mendicino designated the Islamic Republic of Iran a “regime that has engaged in terrorism and systematic and gross human rights violations” under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).

In the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, which killed an estimated 1,200 people, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre renewed his calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to list the IRGC as a terrorist entity.

Hamas, a listed terrorist entity in Canada, is a member of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” — a Tehran-backed alliance of militant groups in the Middle East which oppose both Israel and the United States.

The Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S.-based independent think-tank, identifies the Quds force as Iran’s main point of contact with axis members, providing them with “training, weaponry and funds to promote Iranian regional objectives.”
