Via InquirerUSA The pandemic’s economic impact apparently has not stopped Filipinos in Canada from sending money to loved ones in the Philippines.

Lozada, who is currently a support worker, came to Canada in 2009, living in British Columbia and Alberta before coming to Saskatoon in 2015.

Her parents are in the Philippines and are currently not working, and her father is sick. Her brother doesn’t have a job since cruise ships aren’t operating.“[It’s] still not enough for everything. For my payments here in Canada and try at least every month to give to my parents, for my father’s medicine.”In 2019, money sent from Canada to the Philippines totaled $1.08 billion, according to Philippine government data supplied to CBC News through the consul general’s office in Calgary.

The total sent to the Philippines in 2019 from overseas was $42.8 billion, making up about 10 percent of the Philippines’ GDP.
