Sounds like it was a fluke that he got arrested in Vietnam and it wasnt work by CPS that tracked him down.

Police said he was first apprehended in November 2017 by police in Vietnam.
Global News has learned he was arrested for being in the country with a fraudulent passport. That sparked a deportation order.
Gervais, 22, was deported back to Canada last week.
Calgary police were then invited to Vietnam to help facilitate his deportation back to Canada. He flew first to Japan and then Toronto. Once he was on Canadian soil he was arrested by Peel Regional Police.
Police said his transfer to Calgary was facilitated by Alberta sheriffs.
Staff Sgt. Colin Chisholm explained it was the Ministry of Public Security in Vietnam that notified CPS last month Gervais was to be deported. Homicide detectives were invited to assist with that process, and accompany him back to Canada.

CPS also confirmed they will be investigating if anyone helped Gervais leave Canada and evade capture for so long.
“We can’t say that he was aided by someone at this time,” Chisholm said.
Strasser-Hird’s father told Global News he wants charges to be laid against anyone who helped Gervais.
“Whoever helped him is hopefully going to get prosecuted here,” Dale Hird said on Monday. “If they don’t, it’s almost saying it’s OK to help someone do that.”
Hird said none of this would have been an issue had Gervais not been granted bail before the trial.
“The decision to let him out on bail cost 20 months of full-time work for the Calgary police and that’s just ridiculous,” Hird said.
