Canada-Mexico Relationship

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

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 Mutual Prosperity

Canada and Mexico have many shared values, such as gender equality, protecting the environment, and respect for human rights.

We value inclusion and diversity, and we work to create opportunities and promote the development of youth and indigenous communities, as well as to respond to the root causes of immigration.

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.

As we get to know each other better and create ties of friendship and family, our bilateral relations become even more solid.
