Canada is a country which has an easy production opportunity that many countries cannot get. Canada is rich in natural resources such as wheat and mining, as well as Canada has great transportation system and cheaper trade as the country is a part of many free trade agreements. First off, Canada is known for its strong natural resources industry. Canada's major natural resources include iron ore which is mined in Quebec, copper ore from Ontario and Quebec, gold which is abundant in more than one hundred fifty mines, nickel which is mined in several countries (Sudbury has the largest mine), and zinc which is mined in British Columbia. Multiple provinces mine coal, petroleum and asbestos. Canada is known as the world's largest producer of nickel, zinc and asbestos. "Canada has the world’s... second-largest proven reserves of oil, and is the third-largest producer of natural gas" (:Invest in Canada", 2011).
The Canadian Advantage (n.d.) also states that Canada is world renowned for its beauty and abundance of natural resources. Because many natural resources are easily available throughout Canada, "More than 100 projects valued at $1 billion or more each, in oil-and-gas, mining and primary metals, have been announced for the 2012–2020 period" ("Invest in Canada", 2011). The indulgence of natural resources gives business freer access as they are closer and more convenient to the business. Canada also has easy importing systems. Canada is wealthy in ports, highways and airways. Invest in Canada (2011) states that, "sailing times from Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific deepwater ports are up to two days shorter than from other North American ports". Canada is also striving to make transportation more economically friendly. "Transport Canada's support of the federal government's clean air agenda in the transportation sector goes beyond regulating air emissions. Our research and development program includes developing, testing, demonstrating and promoting new clean transportation technologies" ("Transport Canada", 2012).
Canada is also beside the United States of America which gives foreign businesses access to border crossing and cheaper exports to other locations. As stated before, Canada is a very peaceful country. Because of the great political stability in the country, Canada has many strong ties with other countries around the world. These ties have led to trade agreements and gives business in Canada access to cheaper foreign resources. Canada has an agreement with Israel that eliminates tariffs on industrial products. Canada also has trade agreements with European countries, Japan and Korea. In the end, the easy production that comes with investing in Canada includes access to natural resources, easier transportation and freer trade. All these things will help a business expand and grow without abundant risk.
