The Filipino International Students Convention 2024 was a resounding success, as close to 100 participants gathered to delve into crucial topics surrounding settlement, employment, and integration supports for international students. Hosted by the University of the Philippines Alumni Association of British Columbia (UPAABC) and the Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver, this event was a beacon of empowerment and knowledge-sharing for Filipino students navigating their academic and professional journeys abroad.

Attendees had the privilege of engaging with esteemed speakers, including Letty Young, a seasoned Settlement Practitioner, who shed light on essential strategies for successful settlement. Bella Cenezero from the Parent Support Services Society of BC provided invaluable insights into parent support services for international students, while Bert Parungao of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) Vancouver, shared expertise on investments, credit, and taxation in Canada. Additionally, Wayman Cheng, a Mobile Mortgage Advisor, addressed property ownership and tenancy rights, and Divya Hariharan from the Immigrant Employment Council of BC presented Mentor Connect, a program facilitating labour market integration through mentorship.

The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing satisfaction with the event and gratitude for the wealth of knowledge shared. They found the sessions informative, engaging, and beneficial to their academic and professional pursuits. The convention served as a platform for meaningful connections, valuable insights, and empowerment for all involved.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our Co-Presenting Sponsors whose generous support made this event possible: Acsenda School of Management, University Canada West, Langley Community Services Society, and CityU. Additionally, we would like to thank our Community Sponsor, Kikumoto Immigration Firm, for their invaluable contribution to the success of the convention.
​
As we reflect on the success of the Filipino International Students Convention 2024, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, speakers, sponsors, and organizers for their unwavering support and dedication. Together, we are paving the way for the success and integration of Filipino international students in Canada.
