🔔 Tết Holiday Notice
As we approach the upcoming Tết holiday, please refer to the VFS website at: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/vnm/en/can/attend-centre for more information on office closures and holiday schedules.
📦 Kindly note that courier services may experience delays during this period.

February 22 is designated as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Canada, marking a yearly, nation-wide call to action to educate the public, support survivors, and combat modern-day slavery.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) combats human trafficking at Canada’s borders by identifying victims, disrupting traffickers, and collaborating with domestic and international partners. CBSA officers are trained to recognize behavioural and situational indicators and plays a critical role in the fight against human trafficking by identifying cross border trafficking activities, referring potential victims to appropriate government support services, and supporting the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking offenders. The CBSA emphasizes a victim centred, trauma informed approach that prioritizes safety, dignity, and confidentiality

Overall, the CBSA positions itself as a frontline defender against exploitation and a key contributor to national and global anti trafficking efforts.

🚫 If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Fraud Alert: Don’t fall for “low-skilled worker” job offers to Canada!
Be careful of agents who promise jobs in Canada for “low-skilled positions” and claim that you can sponsor your whole family after paying large fees (1–2 billion VND).
👉 These offers are false and misleading.
✅ Only authorized employers and legitimate job offers through official programs can lead to a Canadian work permit.
✅ Canada does not sell jobs, visas, or family sponsorships.
✅ Always verify information on the official IRCC website:
