The country’s high standard of living and active support for innovation and entrepreneurship make it an attractive destination for Ukrainian investors and entrepreneurs. The technology sector, green energy, agriculture, and other key industries are a focus of the Canadian government, and they present ample opportunities for growth and expansion for Ukrainian companies. The Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA) has been instrumental in gradually eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers, making the Canadian market more accessible for Ukrainian goods and services. The modernized agreement, which entered into force on July 1, 2024, has contributed to the increased presence of Ukrainian goods in Canadian stores, challenging well-established European brands.
