Protecting yourself online: A Cyber Security Toolkit for Newcomers to Canada

Posted on: December 20, 2024

In our increasingly digital world, it’s important to understand how to protect your personal and financial information from fraud and scams. Building this understanding is particularly vital for newcomers, who may be targeted by scams because they’re not as familiar with local laws or specific scams prevalent in Canada. By adopting cyber hygiene practices and staying vigilant against scams, newcomers to Canada can protect their personal and financial well-being in their new home.

The Canadian Bankers Association’s Cyber Security Toolkit for Newcomers to Canada, developed in collaboration with Get Cyber Safe, aims to educate newcomers on cyber hygiene best practices and empower them so that they are equipped to recognize and avoid common scams in Canada.
