Russian intelligence services are looking for agents among Canadian residents

The FSB is trying to find foreigners in Canada who support contact with intelligence agencies of different countries of the world, and recruit them.

"The search for double agents occurs among immigrants from Russia and other countries who were part of or under the influence of the Soviet Union.

Intelligence reports that in March 2024, the FSB distributed a corresponding appeal in the form of a leaflet. It was included in a free newspaper distributed in “European goods” stores, Russian restaurants, subways, individual schools, hospitals and residential complexes in the city of Toronto.

"It is interesting that this publication positions itself as pro-democracy and anti-Putin , however, it can only be a cover and a way to attract the attention of local security structures.”
