Understanding Our Market

Canada has a larger landmass than the United States but less than one-fourth the population. The people are distributed about the same from east to west in both countries with 80 percent living east of the Mississippi River and 20 percent to the west. Manufacturing and heavy industry is concentrated in the east, while agriculture and forestry predominate in the west. On a north-to-south basis, 80 percent of Canadians live within 100 miles of the border. Canada annually buys goods and services from the United States worth more than 500 billion US. Dollars.

The United Nations ranked Canada as the country with the 4th highest standard of living in the world, as well as leading the pact of the G7 countries in GDP growth.

Language

French is required equally with English on packaging and signage. In western Canada, you will find more people who speak other foreign languages than who speak French. In Quebec, the majority speak French but business is conducted almost exclusively in English.
