“I’m a matchmaker. Trade commissioners are matchmakers. One of the most rewarding things is when you introduce that Canadian company to a contact that they’ve been trying to get in touch with. They’ve been trying different channels, their own networks have failed them, and all of a sudden we open that door for them. It’s a relief, but it’s also a moment of excitement for them, because in a lot of cases they’ve tried so long to get in touch with this person and to get them to even just pick up the phone. And we’re able to do that with our network. We put Canadian exporters in touch with buyers from other companies around the world.” – Jamie Huget, Ottawa #HOTCS

“What I personally find rewarding as a trade commissioner is that we give without asking for something in return, and we make a huge difference for Canadian companies expanding internationally. We lower the risk of doing business and we help exporters win contracts. And we’re not just removing trade barriers, but also cultural ones.
“Lebanon, being a hub to access emerging markets, can be an entry point for Canadian companies into the Middle East and Africa. From the TCS off...ice in Beirut, I help Canadian companies in the ICT sector to expand into other countries in this region by connecting them to opportunities and by introducing them to my colleagues. Even though we are in the same region, each market is different – there are different ways of doing business, different guidelines and regulations, etc. So one essential service we offer Canadian businesses is the expertise acquired by each trade commissioner on the ground. We can provide key insights on these distinctions, making exporting easier for Canadian companies.” – Nathalie Nercessian, Beirut #HOTCS
