7 April 2025, Ottawa – The Philippine Embassy in Ottawa extended its consular services to the Atlantic Region with its consular outreach mission in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on 5-6 April 2025. 

Over the course of the two-day event, the Embassy team provided a total of 244 consular services, which included passport applications, legalizations, and civil registry services, among others. Among those served, seven individuals took their oath of allegiance under the Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003 (R.A. 9225), commonly known as the Dual Citizenship Law.

In addition to these vital consular services, the Embassy team promoted the upcoming conduct of overseas online voting for the 2025 Philippine National Election. Filipino citizens residing in the Atlantic region who visited the outreach mission were given guidance on the pre-voting enrollment and internet voting process.

The Embassy’s consular outreach mission in Charlottetown is part of its broader commitment to bringing its consular services closer to our Kababayans. /END
