Proud to Work

The Canadian talent portal

Connecting Canadian talent with the world.

Canada has what the world is short of: the resources, the clean power, the researchers and the stability. Proud to Work is where that work gets found — a portal for the people, companies and projects building here, and for everyone abroad looking for them.

Our mandate

Make Canadian work easy to find, and easy to back.

Canadian companies undersell themselves and Canadian builders work in isolation from one another. Proud to Work exists to fix both: to put Canadian talent in front of the world, and to put the country's own support system in front of Canadians.

Show the world what Canada builds

A public, free directory of Canadian companies and the people behind them, written so a buyer, partner or investor anywhere can understand the work in one sentence.

Connect Canadians to what is already theirs

Every grant, accelerator, investor and community available where you live, mapped metro by metro — because most of it already exists and almost nobody can find it.

Make the case, with evidence

Sourced writing on why Canada is positioned to supply what the world needs next, so the argument for building here rests on figures rather than sentiment.

Why Canada, and why now

Almost no country can serve its own needs and the world's. Canada can.

The things in short supply this decade — critical minerals, firm clean power, trusted researchers, and a government that can pay its bills — are the things Canada happens to hold at once. Every figure below links to the sourced piece behind it.

And the build is already funded: $192 billion of nation-building projects are in the federal Major Projects Office pipeline, backed by $57 billion of new infrastructure money and a two-year decision target.
