The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the government’s appeal in Zunera Ishaq’s case, leaving the lower court’s rejection of the citizenship-oath niqab policy in place. The litigation protected her route to citizenship while wearing her niqab. It was a victory against a specific mandatory administrative policy, not a decision abolishing every Canadian restriction on religious dress.
