Canada has opened a new immigration operation centre in the Philippines to get ahead in the global race for health care labour even as the Southeast Asian country struggles with an exodus of its workers.
The new centre is located within Canada’s Embassy in Manila and employs 37 people.
“This operations centre will help facilitate travel, attract highly skilled workers to Canada, and meet the needs of our economy today and in the future,” wrote Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, in a statement released March 3.
