Trade war with U.S. hasn't dampened foreign investors' appetite for Montreal
Foreign investment is on the rise in Montreal despite Canada's trade war with the United States. A Montreal economic development agency says the value of investment from foreign companies rose 55 per cent to $1.69 billion during the first six months of the year compared with the same period in 2024. Preliminary data from Montréal International says the agency this year supported 29 projects in the greater Montreal area that created 1,866 jobs with an average salary of $101,000. And despite tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump — and his recent threats to impose more — 46 per cent of foreign investment in Montreal so far this year is from American companies. Stéphane Paquet, CEO of Montréal International, says the uncertainty around immigration is hurting investment in the city more than the trade war is. Paquet says companies are looking for more stability in provincial and federal immigration policies so that firms can better predict labour market trends.
