Canadian companies are increasingly onshoring in the U.S. out of necessity rather than choice, primarily to avoid escalating tariffs. With trade policies becoming more restrictive and cross-border duties adding substantial costs, businesses are forced to relocate operations to maintain competitive pricing and market access.

​

• Tariff Avoidance – New trade restrictions have made it costlier to export goods from Canada to the U.S., pushing companies to establish local operations.

• Tax and Regulatory Relief – Many U.S. states offer financial incentives and lower corporate tax rates, providing a more favorable business environment.

• Access to a Larger Market – Relocating to the U.S. allows companies to reduce logistical costs and directly serve American consumers without cross-border restrictions.

• Political Stability and Business-Friendly Policies – While Canada faces shifting economic policies, many U.S. regions are actively supporting business growth through deregulation and industry-specific benefits.

• Currency Considerations – With the U.S. dollar consistently strong against the Canadian dollar, earning revenue in the American market becomes more attractive.
