Canada’s intelligence agency has issued a warning about attempts by the Chinese regime to recruit Canadian government officials and academics through a talent program.

In an email notice sent to government employees and obtained by The Epoch Times, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said it is aware of recent emails directed at “Government of Canada employees and Canadian academics, inviting them to participate in an overseas talent program.”
