Investment Canada

Invest In Canada is the Government of Canada organization that promotes and attracts foreign direct investment into Canada. As a bureau in the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, Invest In Canada assists companies planning to invest in Canada or to expand their Canadian operations. The department was created in 1985 by the Investment Canada Act. Recent practice by the Harper government has been to limit foreign investment to no more than 50% share, a policy designed by Nigel S. Wright during his time at the PMO, although that was thrown out the window prior to the Oliver budget of April 2015 with the sale of a 50.1% share in the Canadian Wheat Board.
