Verdict
The employer is a private individual (FERN YUEN) with no verifiable web presence, and the only application channel is mailing a physical resume to 3309 University Woods — a residential street of single-family homes in Oak Bay (postal code V8P 5P9 matches residential listings on the same block). While private households do legitimately hire home support workers and the residence may genuinely be the workplace, an unverifiable individual collecting mailed personal documents at a home address is the classic high-risk pattern, compounded by newcomer/refugee-recruitment language often seen in sham LMIA-style postings.
