Looking to Expand Your Sales into Canada?

Canada offers European firms access to a stable, advanced and sophisticated market governed by the rule of law and closely integrated with major international trading relationships.

But Canada is not a single, uniform market. Its provinces and regions have different commercial conditions, customer bases, regulatory requirements and routes to market. Successful entry requires both national perspective and local knowledge.

Just as Canadian firms entering the European Union must understand EU regulations and business practices, European firms entering Canada face Canadian federal and provincial regulatory, commercial and market requirements. SCIG can help you identify what applies, determine how best to enter the market and support you through the process.

From Europe to Canada

SCIG provides European firms entering Canada with the same practical market entry capabilities we provide Canadian firms expanding into Europe including: identifying customers, distributors and strategic partners; assessing market opportunities; conducting commercial due diligence; evaluating regulatory requirements; developing pricing and positioning; preparing proposals and negotiations; and supporting commercial execution.

Canada can also be an attractive location for European firms considering North American manufacturing or investment. Depending on the industry and location, advantages can include competitive hydroelectric power, a highly skilled workforce, access to critical minerals and natural resources, and preferential access to major international markets.

SCIG is firmly rooted in the Canadian market. Our team combines Canadian business experience with direct European ties, including dual EU-Canadian nationality. We understand that entering another market involves more than regulations and logistics. It requires an understanding of how business is actually conducted, who you should be dealing with, and how to position your company effectively. 

If Canada is part of your growth strategy, SCIG can help you assess the opportunity, establish the right relationships and turn market access into sales.
