Immigrating from the Philippines to Canada
Start with a documented, realistic route—not a promise. We help Philippine-based applicants compare Canadian economic, study, work and family options from our Mississauga office.
Remote consultations are available. A2B does not claim a Philippines office.

Which route fits your circumstances?
Express Entry
Assess qualifying skilled work, an approved language test, education and a current CRS calculation before making a plan.
Study permit
Choose a genuine program and DLI, then plan for current financial and application requirements. Study is not a guaranteed PR pathway.
Family sponsorship
A qualified Canadian citizen or permanent resident may be able to sponsor an eligible spouse, partner, child or other family member.
Philippines application checklist
Education and language
For many economic profiles, foreign education is supported by an Educational Credential Assessment. Use current, approved language results rather than assumptions based on English-medium education.
Medical and biometrics steps
Follow IRCC’s instructions for your application. You may need to give biometrics or complete a medical examination, but timing differs by program and file.
Financial documents
Where settlement funds apply, IRCC sets the required amounts and evidence. Review the latest proof-of-funds guidance instead of using old figures online.
