AFAIK, if he wasn't a refugee, he can pretty much pick and choose where to land in Canada. If I hazard a guess, he went to Smithers (no idea where that is) for a job and just stayed there permanently afterwards. Nowadays, when I drove through BC, the rural towns Timmis are all serviced by immigrants. I bet overtime, some of them will just settle there and people will be bewildered why someone will go from the Philippines to Sicamous, BC, directly.
