The Victoria Filipino Canadian Association (VFCA) is a non-profit organization established on February 10, 1969. Its purpose was chiefly to help new immigrants from the Philippines find housing accommodation and help each other to adjust to the Canadian way of life. The signatories on the application for the incorporation were all women in the health-care field.
