Abstract
The Philippines is a tiny archipelago in Southeast Asia with over one hundred million people wallowing in a third world economy kept afloat for decades by Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). In 2017, OFWs collectively sent home cash remittances amounting over $28 billion—roughly $645 million came from Filipinos in Canada. This amount is the eleventh biggest contributor to the Philippine economy (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, 2018).
On the other hand, the Philippines has become the top country for new immigrants to Canada in recent years, surpassing India and China (Friesen, 2018). According to the 2016 Census of Population Program, there are over half a million Filipino immigrants born in Canada, with approximately 10% residing in Manitoba (Statistics Canada, 2017). They are overwhelmingly concentrated in the City of Winnipeg, where they form the largest visible minority community (City of Winnipeg, 2016).
As of 2016, more than 10,000 of these Filipinos are employed in the regulated nursing professions (Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2016), where practically 9 out of 10 are women (Canadian Nurses Association, 2016).
