Filipino sailors cleared to serve on Canadian-flagged vessels for first time
A spokesperson for Transport Canada says the deal signed between Canada and the Philippines will make it easier to find qualified for seafarers for various roles aboard ships and ashore.
It means Filipino sailors will be able to work on Canadian-flagged vessels with a work visa and without first securing permanent residency status. "We are exploring considerations around security clearances, work visas and Transport Canada requirements that CCG will have to fulfil to obtain the STCW certification endorsement for each candidate," said Fisheries and Oceans spokesman Craig Macartney.
