About CanExport Community Investments

The CanExport Community Investments (CECI) program provides grants to communities in Canadian, such as municipalities, regional economic development organizations, and indigenous nations, to fund activities to make these communities more attractive to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Depending on where a community is along the continuum of its investment strategy, the program may fund FDI-related training and the development of an FDUI strategy, and later on may fund the development of promotional materials and lead generation costs. CECI can cover up to 60% of eligible expenditures, up to a maximum of  $500,000 per eligible community.
