Canada has become a hot destination for Filipinos to visit for its cooler climate and wonderful sightseeing spots. Other Filipino families have even gone so far as to settle down in many of its cultural hotpot areas. Among the exciting areas to check out in Canada is the bustling city of Vancouver.

Vancouver might be a familiar sight for many as it is often used as a filming location in several films and TV shows. A visit to the University of British Columbia Vancouver’s campus grounds will likely take you back to some shots seen in X:Men Origins: Wolverine, The Butterfly Effect, Riverdale, Smallville, and MacGyver to name a few. Plus, there are a few museums and galleries in the area to soak in the history and culture of the city. 

For those who visit in winter, the cool temperatures might lead you over to downtown Vancouver to cozy up to some warm fondue at Grouse Mountain's Snowshoe Fondue while enjoying the fresh mountain air and a view of the city below.

It’s as exciting as it sounds, and Air Canada has made it easier for Filipinos to experience visiting the wonderful city of Vancouver. Starting April 2, 2025, there will be a direct service four times weekly.

“The Philippines is an important market reflecting long-standing family ties between our two countries with growing business connections and tourism opportunities,” shares Air Canada vice president for revenue and network planning Mark Galardo in a statement.
