Not notable. Subject is lacking in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources, as required by notability criteria. Coverage seems to revolve around one news event in 2015 that was apparently inconsequential. Article created by single-purpose account with possible conflict of interest.

Keep The nomination statement that "coverage seems to revolve around one news event in 2015" doesn't seem to be correct. Gnews reveals enough coverage in reliable sources, on more than one incident -- and in various provinces, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:01, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As for the claim of COI: whatever motives User:HardRightTurn might have had in creating this stub article, I'm pleased to see that it is in no way a puff piece for this group. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Since the last nomination, there was another incident, disavowed by IWC in Edmonton. [1] Also not covered is another 2014 incident in York. [2]. The actions of IWC have gotten mention in the context of racism in Canada as far abroad as the Asia Times: [3]. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 17:21, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This organisation is mentioned in various reliable sources as representing anti-immigrant groups. The Huffington Post Canada has articles on three incidents in which it has been involved and its views and actions are quoted in several other sources such as this. I think it meets WP:ORG.
