Hong Kong-Canada Economic Ties

Canada and Hong Kong’s long-standing relationship is deeply rooted in shared history, common values, and strong commercial, political, and people-to-people ties. While Canada-China relations have been extensively discussed in our previous CCBC-CIUA report, China’s Economic Impact on Canada: Trade, Investment, and Immigration, Canada’s relationship with Hong Kong is distinct, requiring its own consideration.

Authored by the China Institute at the University of Alberta (CIUA) and commissioned by the Canada China Business Council (CCBC), this report aims to provide a fact-based overview of Canada-Hong Kong trade, investment, and immigration relations while also discussing broader relevant trends and issues. Understanding the unique characteristics and contexts of the Canada-Hong Kong economic partnership is essential to develop strategies and policies that promote mutual prosperity. Despite political uncertainty and recent headwinds, economic and business opportunities between Canada and Hong Kong remain abundant and profitable.
