DOLE has set up a Canadian Desk located at the Office of the DOLE Secretary in Intramuros, Manila. Director Salome Mendoza of POEA was designated to head the desk. The Canadian Desk would coordinate with the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba in activities relating to the deployment of OFWs. The POEA, as mandated by law, will continue to handle the actual deployment activities.
The Desk would also attend to queries from workers seeking employment in Canada. For more details, the DOLE-POEA Desk can be reached through its hotline number (02) 523-3633 or e-mail address dolecanada@yahoo.com.
