Official Statement Regarding an Unofficial Syrian Consulate Website

The Canadian Syrian Board (CSB) has been monitoring information circulating about a website claiming to provide information or services related to the Syrian Consulate in Montreal.

Following direct communication with the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, the Ministry confirmed that this website is not an official platform and has no affiliation with the Ministry or any Syrian diplomatic mission. The Ministry also urged the public not to rely on or interact with such unofficial sources.

The Canadian Syrian Board advises members of the Syrian community in Canada not to share personal information, official documents, or sensitive data through unofficial websites or platforms.

The Ministry also confirmed that efforts are continuing toward the reopening of the Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic in Ottawa, and any official updates will be announced through the appropriate official channels.

As part of its ongoing direct communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, the Canadian Syrian Board will continue to share verified official updates with the Syrian community in Canada as soon as they become available.

We encourage everyone to verify information before sharing it and to rely only on official sources.
