More Jobs, Stronger Economy
Invest in Canada works with our economic development partners across the country to identify and attract the most committed global companies to invest in Canada for the long term. For Canadians, these commitments mean jobs, sustainability and growth for years to come.
Through investment, reinvestment, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As), global businesses help keep Canadian industries innovative and competitive. Modern FDI creates global connections that open new markets and opportunities for Canadian goods and services. And there’s job creation: foreign-owned global companies operating in Canada employed 2.5 million Canadians in 2019.
