protection is Canada Civil Aviation Authority's financial protection scheme for package holidays that include flights. If the company fails before you travel, you get your money back; if it fails while you are abroad, your return flight is arranged. An Umrah package with flights sold in Canada should be fully licensed & protected.
Ask for the protection number and check it on the CAA's public protection holder list. You should also receive an protection Certificate immediately after paying — not weeks later, and not only if you ask.
Requests to pay a personal bank account or in cash, no written itinerary, no protection certificate, prices that are dramatically below every other agency, and pressure to pay in full immediately. Any one of these is reason to walk away.
Al Furqan Travels is fully licensed & protected and IATA certified. Every booking is confirmed in writing with a full itinerary, and your payment is protected from the moment it leaves your account.
