Canada and Ireland have an established and growing trade and investment relationship with bilateral treaties in regards to tax, social security and film/video. Ireland continues to be an important trading partner for Canada despite the effects of the global financial crisis of 2008-09. Ireland is the 10th largest destination for CDIA, which is mostly due to Ireland’s low corporate tax structure and location as a spring board into the EU market. EDC sees opportunities for FDI Inbound and CDIA across a range of sectors.
