Education is an important asset immigrants bring. It’s a ticket to success in Canada.

However, it’s a different story for a number of newcomers from the Philippines. Packing along a university diploma doesn’t guarantee anything. Entry into the professions can be a big challenge. Getting their credentials recognized isn’t easy. To survive, they work in low-tier jobs that don’t pay much.

Thanks to feedback from readers and supporters. The Canadian Filipino Net’s editorial board is introducing changes to improve its website.

Starting a new website in a crowded field of millions competing for the highest number of “hits” and the most “likes” is a daunting task in this fast-paced digital world. However, with the number of Filipinos in Canada soon to hit a million, a website inviting readers to pause, reflect and do something about issues that affect their lives, is timely and fitting.
