TFO Canada is a state-owned entity headquartered in Canada. Founded in 1980, the organization employs approximately 40 individuals and its main product involves international trade and development. Functioning as the primary Canadian provider of information, advice, and contact, TFO Canada supports businesses in developing and emerging countries interested in exporting to Canada. The organization provides free web-based products and services to registered exporters, including its Exporting to Canada Handbook and multiple sector-specific documents, and also publishes supply offers for Canadian buyers.
On June 22, 2026, TFO Canada highlighted how Trade Support Institutions (TSIs) working with the organization have, over the past five years, deliberately shifted toward gender-responsive export readiness. This initiative acknowledges the distinct barriers women-owned and women-led SMEs face in accessing global markets. On the same day, TFO Canada also detailed a gender-responsive export readiness pathway in the Philippines, emphasizing that women-led Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (WLMSMEs) represent an underutilized engine for economic growth in the country.
