Best in the G20
Experts predict that Canada will be the best country in the G20 for doing business for the next five years. What are you waiting for?
Stability
Canada's low corruption rate and safe banks allow you to expand your business and feel confident while doing so. When you're doing business in Canada, you’ll experience a sense of stability.
Transport nation
With 13 international airports, 17 seaports and 117 border crossings to the U.S., Canada is well placed to serve as a central hub for global trade. Central Canada's transport infrastructure handles approximately 70% of trade (by value) with the U.S., and the coastal ports provide direct maritime access to Asia, Europe and South America. It doesn't get more global than that. Canada offers you a gateway to the world.
Global trading
Get access to 1.5 billion consumers thanks to our 15 free trade agreements, including the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). When you expand to Canada, you operate in the only G7 country with access to a supply chain that connects to 63% of the world’s GDP.
IT'S TIME TO MAKE CANADA YOUR SECOND HOME.
Global market access. Low costs. Abundant talent. Stability.
Canada is the best country in the G20 for global business expansion.
Competitive costs
Canada's federal government's corporate income tax rate is one of the lowest in the G7. Our business costs are as competitive as anywhere in the world.
Low cost, low tax
Canada is the lowest-cost G7 country in the manufacturing and the corporate services sectors. Businesses in all sectors can write off a larger share of costs for newly acquired assets, including long-lived assets like buildings and intangibles like patents and IP.
Investment Write-Offs Up To 100%
In Canada, companies can write off up to 100% of new machinery and equipment costs, and specified clean energy equipment. By helping companies that believe in green tech prosper, Canada spurs adoption of advanced technologies and processes.
Quality of life
Ranked against 80 other countries, Canada has been placed 3rd overall in 'Good Quality of Life,' landing in the top 3 for three years running, scoring high in areas such as 'political stability', 'safe environment', 'good public education' and ‘strong job market'.
Benefits of peacefulness
Canada ranks 1st in the G7 and 5th among the 36 OECD countries in terms of overall living conditions and quality of life. Interest rates are lower and more stable in highly peaceful countries, as is the rate of inflation, while foreign direct investment is higher. Your business will be in a good place in Canada.
Superior business climate
Canada continues to be the best country in the G20 for doing business, and it's easy to see why. Are you ready to make Canada your second home?
