There are now 23,803 study permit holders from the Philippines as of December 31, 2022.
“This tells you about the strength of the program,” says Sol Abel Pagaling, CEO of GBE.
“In 2009, we passed the 200,000 student permit holders. In 2019, we passed the 600,000 mark,” says Sol. “That’s a 3-times increase, and I project it will rise sharply in the coming years.”
If you’re preparing to come to Canada as an international student, here are the costs you need to prepare. Keep in mind, these are estimated costs and can vary significantly depending on your situation.

In all, GBE recommends that you prepare at least $25,000 Canadian Dollars if you’re coming as a single student. GBE also recommends to work with an Education Advisor.
“The more funds the better,” says Sol. “But don’t let the cost stop you from pursuing a better life in Canada. This is an investment in your future and your family’s future. Talk to an education advisor. “
Sol suggests that applicants should envision what their future will look like.
“10 years from now, where do you want to be? Where do you want your family to be? Where do you want your kids to grow up? In Canada, you can pursue your career and business opportunities, while you raise your family. I can personally tell you that in the long-term, the benefits of coming to Canada will outweigh any short-term cost.”
