Management consulting in Canada is a vibrant and fast-growing industry characterized by a considerable depth of experience. Domestic practitioners bring a wide range of functional and sectoral expertise to their assignments with public- and private-sector clients.

The Canadian market is currently estimated at more than $2 billion, with 4000 to 5000 firms and approximately 17 000 practitioners. Developments in the Canadian market tend to parallel those in the global market, and both are now rebounding after several years of low growth. Most of the major international consulting practices are represented in Canada. In addition to those large firms, Canada has a unique strength in its highly specialized sole practitioners and small and medium-sized niche practices. These practitioners bring significant experience to their assignments, experiences gained in many of the larger international firms, as well as in the corporate, public and private sectors.
