A trade mission, comprised of 240 Mexican companies from various sectors , will seek to expand its export, investment and collaboration opportunities in Canada.
The mission, headed by Marcelo Ebrard, head of the Ministry of Economy , will begin this Thursday, May 7, in Toronto and Montreal, where more than 1,800 business meetings are planned with around 200 Canadian companies .
“This is an unprecedented working visit aimed at expanding our flow of investment and trade with Canada,” Ebrard explained.
The meeting will include representatives from companies —mostly small and medium-sized— from different sectors, including agribusiness, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electromobility , creative industries, education and patent acceleration, as well as investment funds and innovation clusters.
As part of the agenda, Ebrard will have a working lunch with executives from companies such as Air Canada, Bombardier, ATCO, Brookfield, CN Rail, TC Energy, among others.
He will also lead a meeting of various Mexican companies with investment funds, including the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan —one of the largest in the world— and financial institutions in this country, in search of financing and collaboration opportunities .
“We already have trade with Canada and a significant flow of investment. With this mission, we want to accelerate our presence on the scene and, above all, open up the market for many Mexican companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises,” explained the Secretary of Economy.
Alongside the mission’s work, Marcelo Ebrard will hold working meetings with Canada’s Minister of Trade, Dominic LeBlan
The talks will seek to advance the process of the next review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) .
According to the most recent data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , Mexico’s exports to Canada reached 22 billion 169 million dollars (mdd) in 2025 , which meant an increase of 17% compared to 2024.
Meanwhile, Mexican imports from Canada totaled $12.555 billion last year, a 3.6% drop compared to 2024.
The push for this initiative comes on the eve of the review of the USMCA, scheduled for next July, with the aim of consolidating a more integrated North American economic bloc.
