I&amp;#x27;m pretty sure Iraq, Syria, and Libya have all gone onto Canada&amp;#x27;s list at some point recently but some or all of them may be back off the list.  Sorry if it seemed a bit pithy; given how often I see no-sanctioned-countries clauses online I figured that residents of said countries would know if they were likely to be affected.</text></comment>
