Economy

A Trading Nation:

Canada has always been a trading nation, and commerce remains the engine of economic growth. Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest major industrialized countries. It is a member of the G7, the G20, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations (UN), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and many other international bodies.

Canada’s economy includes three main types of industries:

Service Industry:

The service industry provides thousands of jobs across areas such as transportation, education, health care, construction, banking, and communications. retail services, tourism, and Government. More than 75% of working Canadians now work in the service industry.

Manufacturing Industries:

These industries produce products for sale in Canada and around the world. Manufactured products include paper, high-tech equipment, aerospace technology, automobiles, machinery, food, clothing, and many other goods. Canada’s largest international trading partner is the United States.

Natural Resources:

Industry include forestry, fishing, agriculture, mining and energy. These industries have played an important part in the country’s history and development. Today, the economies of many regions of the country still depend on developing natural resources, and a large share of Canada’s exports consists of natural resource commodities. While Canada boasts a highly educated workforce and a diversified economy, it is unusual among developed nations in the continuing importance of its natural resources sector (e.g., forestry, mining, energy)- even as it is one of the world’s most computer-literate and technologically sophisticated markets.
