Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver

Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver Welcome to the official page of the Consulate General of the Philippines in Vancouver, serving British Columbia, the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

The Philippine Consulate in Vancouver was established in May 1956, the very first Philippine foreign service post in Canada, with Consul Gautier F. Bisnar as Head of Post. The Consulate in Vancouver remained as the Philippines’ lone diplomatic and consular office covering the whole of Canada until the establishment of the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa in 1971. It was upgraded to a Consulate General on 24 August 1962. Hon. Francisco O. Oira served as the first Consul General from 17 December 1962 until 03 August 1968. The Consulate General has jurisdiction over British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories.
