Canada is open for business
CIPA connects the international business community with the people, places, and opportunities that make Canada one of the world's most compelling destinations for investment and growth. We work with governments, economic development agencies, and professional services firms to make sure our members always have current, credible information when they need it.
From a meeting room in New York to a boardroom in Singapore, Canadian international professionals carry their country with them. CIPA helps them stay connected to what Canada has to offer, and helps Canada stay connected to them.
A G7 economy built for the world
Canada has earned its place as one of the most stable, open, and highly educated markets in the world. Low corporate tax rates, universal healthcare that reduces employer burden, a deep talent pipeline, and direct access to both the United States and Asia-Pacific markets make Canada a natural base for companies thinking globally.
Whether you are a company exploring North American expansion, a fund seeking a credible regulatory environment, or an entrepreneur looking for a city where talent and livability intersect, Canada competes. Our members know this from direct experience, and they talk about it.
