Canada is currently ranked third in civil-aircraft production. The Canadian aerospace industry is composed of over 700 companies and is responsible for over 109,000 jobs and directly employs about 89,000 people.
The industry exports approximately 60% of its products and brought in a net worth of $25 billion to contribute to Canada’s 2018 GDP.
Canada is a leader in aviation manufacturing and innovation, which is largely credited to immigration programs aimed at recruiting highly skilled aerospace engineers from all over the globe by making it more accessible to migrate to Canada. Its manufacturing sector is mainly concentrated in Quebec, which is responsible for over 51% of operations, followed by Ontario (30%), Western Canada (14%) and Atlantic Canada (5%).
MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) can mainly be found in Western Canada, which is responsible for 41% of operations, followed by Ontario (25%), Quebec (23%) and Atlantic Canada (11%).
Canada’s aviation industry is thriving and has been identified as one of its largest economic sectors, making it an excellent choice for foreign investors looking for lucrative opportunities and relocating to one of the most inclusive and dynamic countries in the world.
