The Conference Board of Canada discovered that entrepreneurial immigrants to Canada are more likely to export to markets other than the nearby US market.
In studying 15,000 small and medium-sized businesses, started by immigrants who arrived in the last five years, the board compared them with other businesses of the same size.
Nearly 12 per cent of the immigrant-owned businesses export goods and services beyond the US market compared with just seven per cent of non immigrant-owned businesses. We’ll look into the factors behind this growing trend in the upcoming week.
