Country Guides

Welcome to Business without Borders’ exclusive Country Guide series. These guides feature exclusive analysis, resources, backgrounders and sophisticated detail on many of the countries and territories Canadians are interested in doing business with. There are actually two sections to each guide. One part is produced by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for HSBC, and offers a detailed report on matters of accounting, taxation, corporate governance and business set-up in 20 countries.

The other half of each guide has been tailored by Business without Borders editors and focuses on each country’s relationship with Canada. In it we provide context on each country’s business climate and what it means to Canadians. There are fundamentals on trade between Canada and each country, what we buy from them and what they buy from us. We detail immigration rules, border entry, and look at the personal side of Canadians doing business in each country. Also there’s a synopsis of each nation’s business risk, drawn from our own Global Opportunity Tool.

There’s a new guide being published every month. If you have questions or suggestions for improvement, don’t hesitate to E-mail the Business without Borders editor, Jared Mitchell at: jared.mitchell@rci.rogers.com.
