  Investing in the fastest-growing economy in the G8  
 

Excellent economic performance, cutting-edge innovation, abundant energy resources, affordable land prices, and easy access to the world's largest markets. By all standards, Canada offers a welcoming environment for immigrant investors looking to build their future and start a business in Canada.

How can Canada work for you?

Canada's robust economy relies on a combination of resource-based and knowledge-based industries, both of which are continually evolving to produce greater long-term business prospects. This evolution is made possible through the creation of a skilled labour force and significant foreign investment. Canada's privileged access to the wealthiest markets in the world through the NAFTA agreement also marks this country as a world leader for immigrant investors.

Furthermore, solid fiscal management has resulted in consecutive government budget surpluses, which translate into greater economic stability.

Getting a better return on your business investment

The Government of Canada understands the important role played by its business community, and that's why it works with Canadian financial institutions to create a business environment that encourages success.

Canada's banks have won the full confidence of international institutions. Moody's, a company rating commercial and government entities worldwide, gave Canada its highest rating (AAA) in response to an improved fiscal balance sheet and excellent long-term growth prospects. Additionally, Standard & Poor’s, the world's best known credit rating agency, recently gave Canada an enviable AA credit rating.
