Canada is a natural resource-rich country with the second-largest landmass in the world. Having a smaller population of 37 million in 2018 and a higher GDP, Canada enjoys the title of one of the richest countries in the world. However, the population is increasing in Canada at a rate of 1.4% per annum, and it is the highest among the G7 countries.

In 2019, the World Bank reported the GDP of Canada to be $1.736 trillion. The major contributors to Canada’s GDP are real estate, mining, tech, oil and gas extraction and finance. During the Q2 of 2020, the Canadian economy plunged by a record 38.1% on an annualized basis due to COVID-19 and the lockdown restrictions. However, in May 2020, Canada created over 290,000 new jobs. Similarly, in June 2020, the number of people receiving Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) reduced from 8 million to 1.2 million. The Bank of Canada predicted that Canada would lead the G7 countries in annual employment growth by 2025. The most thriving sectors during these past years and in the future are going to be the scientific R&D, technology, and total life sciences. A major Canadian company is Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP), which is popular all over the world in the ecommerce sector as its platform is used by millions to sell stuff online.

In 2021, industrial and logistics sectors have also thrived the most, with railway companies like Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (NYSE: CP) and Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE: CNI) being the most valuable in the transportation sector.
