Nominate Someone as the Most
Influential Canadian Expat

The Canadian Expat
Representing an incredibly rich and valuable resource for Canada and the world, Canadians living and working abroad are directly and indirectly responsible for billions of dollars in bilateral trade. They are exceptionally well educated, linguistically adept and culturally bilingual. They are cultural, economic and even political ambassadors.

The Canadian Expat is on the hunt for the individual that truly stands out, influencing the world to do better, to reach farther and to make a difference.  

We invite you to help us find this individual.  The circle of influence may be economic, cultural, environmental or political.

Mark Carney- UK:  Governor Bank of England
Andrew Work- Hong Kong: Publisher- Harbour Times
Daniel Murphy- UAE: Canadian Business Council Chairman
