Since 1944, Canada and Mexico have been good friends and strategic partners within the neighborhood of North America.

Mexico and Canada share a vibrant and multifaceted relationship, characterized by deep people-to-people ties, intense cultural connections, and constantly growing trade and investment. We are important strategic allies who share a permanent dialogue and commitment. We work together to generate prosperity and create jobs for the citizens of both countries, to foster security in the hemisphere, and to create increasingly close people-to-people ties.

Canada and Mexico share a commitment to increasing opportunities and prosperity for our people.

The economic relationship with Mexico is one of the most important ones for Canada. We have strong commercial ties that continue to grow, and Canadian investors play an important role in the economic development and employment in Mexico, often in isolated areas. We are also proud of employing around 25,000 Mexicans each year through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program, which is a global example of orderly labour mobility.

Go to A Better World

To make people’s lives more secure, Canada and Mexico cooperate closely to promote the safety and security of our people.

Canada and Mexico collaborate through our protection and security institutions to share information and best practices about key issues such as police surveillance and crime prevention, border security and migration.

Go to Security

Through tourism, education and culture, the links between the people of Canada and Mexico grow stronger every day.
