One thing I don’t like about the Philippine Passport is that you need visas to go to other countries. However, many can come to the Philippines visa free. It’s a fact that is hard to change as the Philippines is not a powerhouse. However, I have been to 140 plus countries with my Philippine Passport – it’s a challenge, but it’s doable. What’s great is that if you have a visa from a mighty nation, you can get admitted to other countries, too! Here’s a list of countries Filipinos can enter with a Valid Canada Visa.
Getting a Multiple-Entry 10-Year Canada Visa is straightforward. Submit all the documents required, have a new passport (the 10 years), and pay the proper fees – you will surely get one. There are additional bonuses, too – imagine going to more than 20 countries or territories with a Canada visa! Canada’s visas are so reliable you get to enjoy its perks out of the Philippines, too. Your payment of the fees and effort of your application is worth it.
Here are the countries you can enter with a valid Canada Visa:
