Doing Business In Canada - January 2018

Canada is a top destination for foreign companies and investors attracted to our wealth of natural resources, stable and sound political and financial systems, and world-class infrastructure. While Canada is an open economy and welcoming of foreign investment, there are issues that corporations and investors should keep in mind when doing business in Canada, such as our two legal systems (civil and common law) and the division of legislative authority between the federal and provincial/territorial governments.

Canada is a federal state with ten provinces and three territories, each with its own government. The Constitution Act, 1867 divides legislative authority between the federal and provincial governments.
