Introduction

Foreign Investment: "Flows of capital from one nation to another in exchange for significant ownership stakes in domestic companies or other assets. Foreign investment typically works both ways, especially between countries of relatively equal economic stature."-Investopedia.

The move towards globalization has opened trading and foreign investment doors for many countries. Increasing foreign investment causes an outward shift of the demand curve as there are more people to buy goods at every price. Altogether, getting foreign companies to invest in Canada is great for business. The biggest Canadian trading partners include the United States, the U.K. and Chia. Diversifying trade increases foreign investment which increases demand for Canadian goods. With much of Canadian wealth coming from its natural resources sector, finding foreign investors is extremely lucrative and important. Canada boasts political stability and a wide range of consumers making it an increasingly popular destination for foreign investments.
