Philippines Security Measures for travelers

Yours is the decision to travel to the Philippines and you are responsible for your safety abroad. But since we care about the safety and security of Canadians, we provide you with timely and credible information in our Travel Advice to help you to make the right decision when you travel abroad.

Risk Level

Philippines – Exercise a high degree of caution

Due to the threat of terrorism and a high level of crime, exercise a high degree of caution in the Philippines.

Avoid all travel to Mindanao Region due to the threat of terrorist attacks and kidnappings.
Avoid all travel to the Sulu Archipelago and throughout the southern Sulu sea.
Avoid non-essential travel to the urban areas of Davao

Travel Health Notice – Zika virus

The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends that Canadians practice special health precautions due to the risk of Zika virus in the Philippines. Pregnant and would-be pregnant women should avoid all travel to the Philippines.

Entry / Exit requirements

Philippines Government decides who enters or exits its borders, just like every other country. In other words, you may not be allowed entrance or exit to the Philippines if you do not meet the requirements and the Government of Canada will not intervene on your behalf in such a case.

The information on this page was obtained from Philippine authorities; however, it can change at any time. Moreover, you can verify the information with foreign diplomatic missions and consulates in Canada.

Passport

The type of passport you use to travel determines the applicable entry rule. Check with your transportation company to learn about passport requirements before you travel.

Regular Canadian Passport - You must hold a passport valid for six months beyond the date you arrived in the Philippines.
Official Canadian Passport - Different rules may apply. Learn more about official travel here.
Other travel documents - If you are traveling with a temporary passport or an emergency travel document, the entry rules may differ. Check with the closest diplomatic mission for the Philippines before you leave.

Philippines Healthcare

The Philippines has both private and public healthcare services. Facilities in Philippines hospitals and healthcare centers may not have the same standard as those of Canada. However, medical treatment could be expensive especially if you don’t have Philippines travel insurance policy. Some hospitals may also require cash payment, so you need to travel with enough money to cover potential cost and the right travel insurance policy.

Philippines Travel Insurance News

The Court of Queen’s Branch of Alberta ruled on Monday, April 30, 2018, that the SEF 44 Family Protection Endorsement in the standard auto policy of Alberta would provide accident benefits coverage for accidents that took place outside Canada.

Leizle Wage was struck and killed by a motorcycle while on vacation in the Philippines. Wage and her husband had a standard auto policy with Canadian Direct Insurance in Alberta. The policy includes the SEF 44 Family Protection Endorsement.

Leizle’s estate argued in the court that coverage under the SEF 44 endorsement is not excluded in Alberta’s standard auto policy’s territorial limit. However, Canadian Direct Insurance denied the claim in the court, stating that accidents that took place in the Philippines are not included in the endorsement coverage.

Although SEF 44 endorsement talks about places or jurisdiction where the accident occurred, it does not point out any express limitation except for the province of Quebec.

Serena Hill

Very polite and courteous! Def a thumbs up ☺️

Kathy Jackson

Make it possible to contact a CSR who doesn't transfer me around 7 times before telling me they can't find their own policy issued to a customer - a policy number taken from their own letterhead!! I will tell everyone I know, in every way, to avoid your company at all costs. If I have to, I will contact CBC W5 or Marketplace. Manulife, you have messed with the wrong estate executor!!

Dee Garrett Gauthier

We had an excellent experience with Insurdinary. We strongly recommend them for insurance. Very pleasant to speak with. Fast and easy. We will be telling our family and friends all about it. Give them a call.
