In 1998 her family immigrated to Canada, where her parents started a small family business in Mississauga. Iqra and her three brothers helped at this store while they attended school.[4] Khalid attended York University, where she graduated with a degree in criminology and professional writing in 2007. As a student she served as the media ambassador for the York University Student Alumni Program,[5] and as the president of the Pakistani Students Federation where she organized a campaign to raise funds and emergency supplies for victims of the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake.[6] Following her graduation she began working at an immigration firm. She then went on to pursue a Juris Doctorate at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. She completed the three-year program in only two [7]. She wrote her final thesis on a comparative analysis of the effects of culture on the governance and regulation of a nation, using business law in the USA, Canada, India and China as case studies. She graduated with honors distinction in 2012. She then returned to Canada and began working as an articled clerk for the city of Mississauga.[8][9] Political careerIn December 2014, Khalid won her nomination to be the Liberal Party of Canada’s candidate for the riding of Mississauga-Erin Mills. In the 2015 federal election Khalid defeated two-term Conservative MP Bob Dechert to win the riding[10]. Khalid was one of two Pakistani-Canadian women elected to the House of Commons in the 2015 election, along with fellow Liberal Salma Zahid.[11] Khalid currently sits on the Standing Committee of Justice and Human Rights, as well as the Foreign Affairs and International Development Subcommittee on International Human Rights (SDIR)[12]. In 2018 she was unanimously appointed as the chair of the Liberal Party Women's Caucus and the All-Party Women's Caucus. JusticeAs a member of the Standing Committee of Justice and Human Rights, Khalid has been involved in debates and studies regarding topics such as Access to Justice, the Court Challenges Program, Physician Assisted Dying legislation, Transgender Rights legislation, Bestiality and Animal Fighting, and Genetic Discrimination. In 2017, Khalid tabled a successful motion to undertake a study on human trafficking.[13] After hearing from numerous witnesses and travelling across Canada to examine the issue further, the committee presented its report “Moving Forward in the Fight Against Human Trafficking in Canada”, which included recommendations that would help provide victims of trafficking the support they need and bring traffickers to justice.[14] Human Rights WorkAs a member of the Subcommittee for International Human Rights, Khalid took part in major studies on human rights situations around the word including human rights violations in Peru, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Burundi, Mauritania, China, Venezuela, and the issue of sex trafficking in South Asia. She has also travelled to Kenya and Ethiopia on studies of international development efforts worldwide. In 2016 Khalid brought forward a successful motion to the Subcommittee for International Human Rights to study the Plight of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar.[15] The report produced by the study was debated in an emergency debate in the House of Commons and as a result Canada became one of the first countries to recognize the genocide of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar.[16] In 2017 Khalid sponsored petition E609, asking the Canadian government to assist the residents of Aleppo who were affected by the Syrian crisis. In December 2016, MP Khalid introduced a private members motion asking the government to develop a strategy to tackle systemic racism and religious discrimination.[17] The motion was developed in response to a petition condemning Islamophobia in Canada, which was sponsored by MP Frank Baylis.[18] The motion passed with 2/3 majority approval and a study was commissioned by the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.[19][20] The committee released a report in 2018, [21], and as a result $23 million was marked to invest in anti-racism and anti-discrimination initiatives[22] For her work on human rights, Khalid was named as one of Chatelaine's Women of the Year in 2017.[23] Electoral record{{Canadian election result/top|CA|2015|Mississauga—Erin Mills|percent=yes|change=yes|expenditures=yes|}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|Iqra Khalid|27,520|49.7|+15.31|–}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative|Bob Dechert|21,716|39.2|-7.38|–}}{{CANelec|CA|NDP|Michelle Bilek|5,206|9.4|-6.75|–}}{{CANelec|CA|Green|Andrew Roblin|905|1.6|-1.14|–}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes/Expense limit|55,347|100.0 | |$216,923.79}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total rejected ballots|245|–|–}}{{Canadian election result/total|Turnout|55,592|67.5|–}}{{Canadian election result/total|Eligible voters|82,348}}{{CANelec/source|Source: Elections Canada[24][25]}}{{end}}References1. ^{{cite web |last1=Khalid |first1=Iqra |title=Iqra Khalid on Twitter: "Thanks so much!" |url=https://twitter.com/iamIqraKhalid/status/932960610400264193 |website=twitter.com |publisher=Twitter |date=November 21, 2017|accessdate=February 12, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/federal-election/federal-ridings-toronto-gta/2015/10/19/iqra-khalid-wins-mississauga-erin-mills.html|title=Iqra Khalid wins Mississauga-Erin Mills|first=Nicholas|last=Keung|date=19 October 2015|publisher=|via=Toronto Star}} 3. ^Iqra Khalid’s amazing success story — from Rahimyar Khan to Canada’s Parliament, ARY News, October 22, 2015. 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1176550|title=Personality: Ontario on her mind|last1=Javat|first1=Teenaz|date=April 19, 2015|website=dawn.com|publisher=Dawn|accessdate=February 12, 2019}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://advancement.yorku.ca/2015/11/16/seventeen-with-connections-to-york-u-are-elected-to-the-parliament-of-canada/|title=Seventeen with connections to York U are elected to the Parliament of Canada {{!}} Alumni & Friends|website=advancement.yorku.ca|access-date=2019-02-13}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://news.yorku.ca/2005/10/12/york-responds-to-earthquake-disaster-in-pakistan-afghanistan-and-northern-india/|title=York responds to earthquake disaster in Pakistan, Afghanistan and northern India|last=rodp|date=2005-10-12|website=York Media Relations|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-13}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://issuu.com/cooleylawschool/docs/benchmark-summer2016/22|title=Benchmark {{!}} Summer 2016|website=Issuu|language=en|access-date=2019-02-13}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.mississauga.com/blogs/post/5262154-this-millennial-not-only-votes-she-s-running-for-mp/|title=This millennial not only votes, she’s running for MP|date=January 16, 2015|website=mississauga.com|publisher=Mississauga.com|accessdate=February 12, 2019}} 9. ^Meet Iqra Khalid, Liberal.ca. 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/federal-election/federal-ridings-toronto-gta/2015/10/19/iqra-khalid-wins-mississauga-erin-mills.html|title=Iqra Khalid wins Mississauga-Erin Mills {{!}} The Star|website=thestar.com|language=en|access-date=2019-02-13}} 11. ^Two Pakistani women win in Canadian poll, The Express Tribune, October 21, 2015. 12. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.ourcommons.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members/Iqra-Khalid(88849)|title=Iqra Khalid -
