US executives in Canada increasingly concerned about regulations when it comes to conducting business in Canada – Perceived Canadian investment climate continues to weaken. (Nanos/AmCham)

The AmCham Canada-Nanos Research have partnered to monitor and measure business sentiment among U.S.-owned businesses operating in Canada. The purpose of the initiative is to gauge the business and investment climate in Canada from the perspective of executives leading American enterprises in Canada. This initiative is sponsored by PNC Bank.

Nanos and AmCham Canada have created a co-branded Index and research project based on a confidence survey of American businesses operating in Canada. The Index provides sector intelligence and data that supports understanding of business trends.

The findings presented in this report are based on an online survey between September 8th and October 16th, 2023 of 39 senior executives of U.S. businesses operating in Canada representing a combined total global revenue of $2.2T CAN and a total combined Canadian revenue of $40.3B CAN. The list of potential panel participants was provided by the AmCham Canada to Nanos.

Readers should note that the research is representative of the participants and should not be projected to any population, elite or general.

The identity and opinions of individual panelists remained confidential and managed by Nanos in accordance with the standards of CRIC, AAPOR and ESOMAR.
