Webinar: Expanding into Canada
Thu. October 17, 2019 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm ! |
Join Vistra a member of the EACCNY, on a webinar aimed to clarify how to avoid the pitfalls of expanding into and operating in Canada, so you can make the most of its many opportunities.
Canada is one of the world’s most attractive destination markets for companies looking to expand internationally. It boasts an affluent consumer base, highly educated workforce, stable political environment and trade agreements with the U.S. and the EU. It also has more than its share of tech hubs, including not only Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, but the emerging markets of Halifax, Calgary and Quebec City. Perhaps most impressive, Canada is ranked third globally for starting a business, according to the World Bank’s most recent data.
Those same World Bank rankings, however, put Canada 22nd in ease of doing business overall. While certainly respectable, the overall ranking hints at some of the regulatory challenges a business will face when expanding into Canada, from fulfilling indirect tax requirements to complying with provincial laws to understanding and following increasingly strict immigration rules.
Our presenters will tell you how to avoid the pitfalls of expanding into and operating in Canada, so you can make the most of its many opportunities.
