Canada and the Philippines are taking their economic partnership to the next level.
During her address at CanCham Cebu on September 16, 2026, Honorary Canadian Consul Katherine Rivera highlighted:
"Canada and the Philippines enjoy a strong and steadily growing trade relationship, built on decades of partnership, deep people-to-people ties, and expanding commercial engagement."
With regional hubs like the Indo-Pacific Agri-Food HQ based in Manila and provincial representation like Saskatchewan, Canada’s presence in the Philippines is growing rapidly. For Cebu and the broader Visayas region, this opens direct avenues to connect, collaborate, and innovate alongside Canadian industry leaders.
If you are currently studying, working, or running a business in any of these 5 key priority sectors, now is the time to get involved:
🌾 Agri-food
🌱 Clean Technologies
🏗 Infrastructure
💻 Information & Digital Technologies
🎓 Education & Skill Development
As Consul Rivera emphasized:
"I encourage many here to start or continue exploring the many options and opportunities that an economic partnership with Canada can offer."
Global trade is shifting toward high-value skills, sustainability, and digital transformation. Stay proactive, build your network, and position yourself for what's next!
