FDI REACHES 15-YEAR HIGH IN CANADA IN 2021

Global companies invested $75.5 billion in Canada in 2021, bringing foreign direct investment (FDI) to a 15-year high. Global business leaders resumed normal activities and put international expansion plans into action. Canada played a key role in their plans. Most investments came from global companies already operating in Canada, proving that once these companies choose Canada, they continue to reinvest over the long term.

As more global business leaders turn their eyes toward Canada, Invest in Canada is focused on finding the best to invest. We’re also building partnerships to ensure a strong, healthy, sustainable future for all Canadians.
