Canada Immigration Group opens new office in Philippines

I recently returned from a trip to the Philippines to inaugerate our new Canada Immigration Group office in Metro Manila, located at 2nd floor, Aseana Powerstation Building, Pres. D. Macapagal Blvd, cor. Bradco Avenue, Paranaque City. I am excited to offer all Canadian immigration services at our new location, including Federal skilled Worker, Provincial Nominee, Family Sponsorship, Business Class, Student visas and more.

During my trip I made several television and radio appearances, including the Kuya Germs show on GMA7/DZBB radio, Mornings at ANC on ABS-CBN tv, and Usapang de Campanilla on DZMM teleradio. I was also interviewed by ABS-CBN Cebu.  My visit and our office opening were also covered by Manila Bulletin, People’s Tonight, Philippine Star, Pilipino Star Ngayon and The Freeman (Philstar).  I was also able to meet with Canadian Consular officials and others to discuss our plans to offer the best Canadian immigration services in the Philippines – the honest, personalized service we are known for.

Visit to the Philippines – October 2009

Notwithstanding seminar cancellations due to continued flooding, my trip to the Philippines in October 2009 was a great success.  I was able to conduct a few speaking engagements/seminars in and around Manila including a brief presentation at the Araneta Coliseum during an event sponsored by Noble Life International.  We conducted free immigration assessments for candidates and are continuing to review assessment forms due to the overwhelming response.

I was honoured to be a guest on several shows including the ANC Morning Show, the Kuya Germs show (DZBB), The Sweet Life with Lucy Torres, Todo-Todo (DZMM), Usapang Lalaki (MBC), Balita Lakay (NBN), and JoJo All the Way (2 appearances).  During my visit to the immensely popular game show Wowowee, I was also chosen as a contestant (but lost!).

One of the highlights of our trip were visits with the children supported by the Bata Bata Di Ka Na Kawawa Foundation, a charitable organization that we support.

More photos from our trip are available here.  More press about my visit covered in Abante-Tonite.
