Story

Canada and the U.S. enjoy a unique partnership as the closest of friends, partners and allies. Strong business links are an engine for economic growth for both countries. More than $1 million of goods and services cross our borders every minute of every day. During the past three years, two-way goods trade between Canada and the 5-state region averaged $28.8 billion per year, supporting 343,800 U.S. jobs. Canada is by far the number one export customer for each of the 5 states. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of oil, natural gas, electricity and uranium to the U.S.

Our business development team provides contact and advisory services to help Canadian and U.S. companies make the most of opportunities for mutually beneficial trade, investment and technology partnerships in the region.

Our political and public affairs team establishes and maintains broad-based relationships with members of the political, media, academic, commercial and artistic communities in an effort to raise overall awareness and understanding of Canada and Canadian views.

Our consular team assists Canadians living or traveling in the Upper Midwest.
