                    [Summary] => 
Both Canada and the Philippines share a long history of opening our doors to refugees seeking asylum and extending humanitarian efforts to receive them. Canada has been deeply appreciative of the Philippines’ efforts to assist refugees in the regional context, and indeed some of the refugees that have settled in Canada in the past, came through the Philippines.
