The strategic Canada-India business relations
Canada and India share a strategic business relationship characterized by mutual cooperation and growth opportunities across various sectors. Both countries have recognized the immense potential for collaboration in areas such as technology, energy, agriculture, and education. For instance, bilateral trade between Canada and India reached approximately $8 billion in 2023, a 15% increase from the previous year. Canada’s expertise in advanced technologies and innovation complements India’s rising market and skilled workforce. This is where Canadian organizations are rapidly growing their remote teams in India using EOR services.
Furthermore, the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two nations has facilitated increased trade and investment flows, with Canadian direct investment in India totaling around $2.5 billion in 2022. With India’s growing middle class and Canada’s resource-rich economy, there is ample room for expansion and diversification of bilateral trade. Moreover, cultural ties and people-to-people connections continue to strengthen the foundation of this relationship, fostering long-term partnerships and shared prosperity. The strategic alliance of both countries stands as a testament to the benefits of synergy in the modern business landscape.
