Ministry of International Trade of Canada

British Columbia's trade and investment team in the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology works with international enterprises to help them build strong links to the resources, skills and businesses that make British Columbia an attractive place to work and invest.

We help international companies invest in British Columbia, one of North America's most competitive and dynamic business environments. Strategically located at the crossroads between the Asia-Pacific region and North America, British Columbia is Canada's Pacific Rim province. Companies in British Columbia benefit from low taxes, competitive operating costs, stable labour conditions, and a multicultural work force that is well educated, highly skilled, and productive.

We support international organizations who want to do business with British Columbia’s innovative and competitive manufacturers and service providers. We help them discover how they can profit from our world-class goods and services in clean technology, life sciences, digital media and film production, as well as tourism, education, forestry, and mining.

We offer assistance to export-ready firms in British Columbia through local support and our network of international Trade and Investment Representatives based in China, Japan, Korea, India, Europe, and the United States.
