About this workshop:
Canada’s newest major trade agreement, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), offers Canadian businesses significant opportunities for growth and diversification. This agreement—signed with 10 Pacific nations (Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam)—reduces trade barriers and opens the door to dynamic international markets.
Join us for this informative workshop to learn what the CPTPP means for Canadian companies, particularly those involved in the trade of tangible goods. We’ll explore key provisions of the agreement, how to leverage its benefits, and practical strategies for reducing dependence on the U.S. market.
Whether you’re currently engaged in international trade or looking to enter new global markets, this session is ideal for importers, exporters, and anyone interested in expanding their business across the Pacific region.
