BDO Remittance partners -- Canada to Philippines

Note:  For very big amounts of money, it is advisable that you send through global money transfer companies, such as Moneygram, Western Union, Xoom (if you have a U.S. bank account, credit card or debit card) or through wire transfer.

If you have an account with Royal Bank of Canada in Toronto, you can make a wire transfer or bank-to-bank transfer. Royal Bank of Canada is a BDO correspondent bank. The BDO swift code is BNORPHMM.

Usually, wire transfers are more expensive than other remittance systems, but they are more secure. They also comply with Canada's international money transfer laws. You can also make a wire transfer at your own bank, but it will use an intermediary bank (a BDO correspondent bank), and this will increase your total remittance cost.

For BDO Remit inquiries:
 you can email callcenter@bdo.com.ph
or you can call 011-800-8-631-8000 toll-free from a landline in Canada
or  call the Manila hotline 011-632-631-8000 (with toll charges)

For tracking your BDO remittance: 
Go to bdo.com.ph and click Remit Status Inquiry (top portion of screen).
You need your remittance reference no.

For other BDO concerns, you can also use the BDO Contact Page

Filipinos in Canada -- How Many Are There?

Curious ka ba kung ilan na ang Filipinos in Canada?

According to the 2006 Canada Census of Statistics Canada (the next census is this year), there are 389,550 Filipinos in Canada, about 1.25 percent of Canada's estimated population of 31.3 million in 2006. In other 2006 tabulations, more than 400 thousand Filipinos were counted. Counts differ because some people check two or more nationalities on the census forms.

Since about five years have passed, it's expected that the number is higher. There are more female Filipinos than male Filipinos, based on the census.

There are also more Filipinos than Latin Americans, Arab people, West Asians, Koreans and Japanese and other Southeast Asians. The whites and others predominated, as follows:

Population Groups	Total	Male	Female
Whites	24,920,465	12,248,075	12,672,390
Chinese	1,168,485	559,605	608,880

Aboriginal People	1,146,025	560,265	585,760
Blacks	696,800	333,535	363,265
Filipinos	389,550	165,180	224,375

Based on data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Canada has been the second biggest source of remittance to the Philippines over the past years.

In the four-month period from January to April 2011, Canada and the U.S. were the top sources of remittances:

U.S.	US$ 2,535,094,000	40.8 percent of total remittance
