Philippine Consulate for Scarborough

There is no Philippine consulate in Scarborough: the office that covers it is the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto.

Which office serves Scarborough

Ontario is split between two posts, and Scarborough falls on the Toronto side: the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto takes the Greater Toronto Area and Western Ontario. No official county line is published, so towns near the boundary should confirm with both posts before booking.

In real terms: the drive is 18 km, about 22 min at posted speed limits without traffic. Among the 25 Ontario cities on this site, that puts Scarborough at #2 for proximity.

One appointment per applicant is the rule at every post, minors included, so secure all the family's slots before planning the drive.

Elsewhere in Ontario, the same office serves Waterloo (110 km), St. Catharines (123 km), Niagara Falls (140 km).

From Scarborough without travelling

What runs online runs the same from anywhere:

• Apostille, since 2024 Canadian competent authorities issue it, not the consulate
• Overseas voter registration, free, and the register closes months before each election
• Balikbayan privilege, granted at the airport with no application and no fee
