The American Chamber of Commerce in Canada (AmCham Canada) is a private, non-profit, membership organization that promotes the two-way flow of trade and investment between Canada and the United States.
Headquartered in Toronto, AmCham Canada has chapters in Ontario (Toronto and Ottawa), in Quebec (Montreal and Quebec City), the West (Calgary), and Atlantic Canada (Halifax). AmCham Canada is committed to promoting trade opportunities, advancing economic growth, and promoting the cross-border mobility of people, goods and services. AmCham Canada continually strives to promote and foster a positive climate for commerce, trade and investment between the United States and Canada.
AmCham Canada's membership is composed of large and small U.S. companies that operate within Canada, as well as Canadian companies of all sizes that sell to or operate in the United States. Companies and other organizations that share our interest in the expansion and enhancement of cross-border business opportunities are strongly encouraged to apply for membership. Membership in AmCham Canada is an asset to any company as it provides access to the one of the world's largest and most diverse network of businesses.
AmCham is affiliated with the United States Chamber of Commerce, which links with other chambers of commerce throughout the United States. AmCham Canada is independent from the governments of Canada and the United States.
With over two hundred fifty member companies, providing a host of services described in this web site, AmCham Canada is a dynamic organization, respected and trusted for its integrity and leadership in advancing the spirit of free enterprise in the North American business environment.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Canada has a distinct role compared to the spectrum of local and regional Chambers of Commerce operating in Canada due to its focus on the U.S.-Canada trade relationship. AmCham Canada is specifically structured to service not only the numerous American companies operating in Canada, but also the interests of Canadian companies currently operating, or interested in operating, on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border.
