Planning on pursuing a career as a Canadian Foreign Service Officer, is an anthropology major a good idea?

I’m currently planning on pursuing a career as a Canadian Foreign Service Officer. My goal is to work for Citizenship and Immigration Canada as an immigration officer. Is social/cultural anthropology a good idea for a major? I’m bilingual, so I wouldn’t minor in French, but would it be a good idea to minor in a different foreign language? If anthropology isn’t a good path to follow, then what discipline should I pursue that would benefit the chances I have of becoming an FSO. Any advice is appreciated.
