It may depend a bit on what you're studying in college, but it could be an advantage to attend university in Canada. The only "catch" is that you'd have to have the money to pay for your tuition. I believe they limit the amount of time you can work if you're on a student visa.

But check the website of the Canadian Consulate in the Philippines. They may have more information for you on the student visa option.
