A true global market
Thanks to a series of far-reaching global free trade agreements, Canada has expanded its access to global consumers, creating new opportunities for businesses like yours.
Trade-friendly
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.
Financially strong
With the top six safest banks in North America, all of which are among the top 35 in the world's 50 safest banks, Canada's banking system is strong and stable. That translates into greater overall business confidence – including among service providers and in supply chains.
Global trade hub
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.
Air, land and sea
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.
Strong transport infrastructure
Almost $6 billion has been committed to Canada's gateways and trade corridors. These public and private investments in bridges, roads, airports, railways and ports further improve capacity and efficiency and advance Canadian competitiveness.
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?
