Business establishment and company creation

Creating or relocating your
business in Canada.

Exchanges between France and Canada are becoming increasingly frequent. Whether in terms of migration flows to Canada or trade exchanges, this has led to the creation of numerous agreements between these two countries.

Among these, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), signed between the European Union and Canada, aims to facilitate transatlantic trade exchanges, as well as encourage the establishment of European companies in Canada and Canadian companies in Europe.
