Study: Characteristics of multinational enterprises in Canada
In 2016, less than 1% of enterprises in Canada were multinationals. Although they accounted for a small share of total enterprises, multinationals had a significant impact on the Canadian economy. These enterprises employed one in four Canadians and owned 67% of total assets in the financial and non-financial sectors. Multinationals also earned more revenue and held more assets than domestic enterprises in nearly every Canadian industry, and, taking into account their size were generally more profitable than domestic enterprises.
