Here is how you can spot them!

Feel
Genuine bills feel smooth, and have a unique texture. They’re made from a single piece of polymer with some transparent spots. The portrait, the large number, and the words “Bank of Canada” should feel raised to the touch. The word “Canada” in or around the large transparent window should also feel slightly raised.
Look
The metallic portrait in the large transparent window should match the large portrait on the front of the note. The numbers in and around the large transparent window should also match the value of the note.
Specifically for the $10 note, look at the metallic images and symbols in and around the large transparent window. They should be sharp and defined.
Tilt
When you tilt the top of the note toward you, there should be colour changes in the metallic portrait and other holographic features. This should occur on the front and back.
Flip
Flip the note over. The metallic portrait in the transparent window should match the large portrait on the front of the note.
Specifically for the $10 note, assure that metallic elements on the front of the note are repeated in the same colours and detail on the other side.

Canada has announced urgent temporary immigration and border control measures in response to rising Ebola risks in parts of Africa. Effective May 27 at 23:59 EDT, immigration documents including visas, eTAs, and permanent resident visas for individuals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan will be suspended for 90 days.

In addition, starting May 30, travelers who have been in these regions within the last 21 days will be required to undergo a mandatory 21-day quarantine under the Quarantine Act. Symptomatic individuals will be directed to hospitals for immediate assessment, while asymptomatic travelers without safe quarantine arrangements will be accommodated by authorities.

Officials emphasized that there are currently no Ebola cases in Canada or North America, and the risk to Canadians remains low. However, the government is taking a precautionary stance due to the severity of the outbreak and global travel considerations ahead of major international events.

Authorities confirmed that individuals already in Canada are not affected by the new restrictions but will continue to be monitored under existing public health protocols.

Fresh revelations from internal government records show growing concerns over Canada’s overseas visa processing system, where contractor VFS Global managing 164 centres worldwide under a contract worth over $725 million has been linked to allegations of appointment reselling, premium fee pressure, security gaps, and service inconsistencies in multiple countries including Bangladesh and Russia.

Critics argue that vulnerable applicants are being forced into costly third-party routes just to meet strict IRCC deadlines, while officials acknowledge fraud risks and ongoing system vulnerabilities. As Canada prepares for a new procurement cycle before the 2027 contract expiry, pressure is mounting for stronger oversight and transparency in how visa application services are delivered abroad.
