Canada is the tenth largest economy in the world and Ireland’s 7th biggest trade partner outside the EU. Enterprise Ireland clients exported €358.6 million in 2020 which represented a 1% increase over 2019. It has a growing population of 38.1 million people and a positive and stable economic environment. Canada is an affluent, high-tech industrial society with a market-oriented economy, low inflation and high living standards. GDP per capita for Canada in 2020 was approximately €45,857. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is strengthening Ireland and Canada’s close trading relationship. CETA provides for significant savings on customs duties by eliminating duties on 99% of all tariff lines, of which 98% will already be scrapped at entry into force for Irish exporters and importers. It opens up the Canadian service market to Irish firms and enables Irish firms to bid for more Canadian public contracts. This encourages more investment between Ireland and Canada. More than 400 Enterprise Ireland client companies are doing business in Canada, employing some 6,000 people across Canada in the fintech, life sciences, software, digital media and animation, education, food and construction sectors.
