Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) chief, Rosalinda Baldoz informed that an estimate of 2 million Filipino workers would be deployed in Canada in the next ten years.

"Canada would be needing at least 1.9 million skilled workers in the next 10 years," Baldoz said.

The POEA chief added, “With the recent signing of bilateral agreements, the number of OFWs in Canada is expected to increase in the coming years.” Skilled Filipino workers are highly in-demand in the following provinces: Alberta, Manitova, Prince Edward Island and in British Colombia.
 
The most in-demand jobs are welders, fabricators, transportation, nurses, caregivers, nannies and pipe fitters.

The Winter Olympics in 2018 would also open opportunities temporary or seasonal workers in the province of British Colombia.

The POEA deputy administrator Carmelita Dimzon said, "Canada has huge demand for skilled workers and professionals, and that it is looking at the Philippines to fill this demand. In British Colombia alone, some 24,000 hotel and restaurant staff would be needed.”
