Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask me before getting started.
Do I need a company in Canada to export?
Not necessarily. Many exporters sell to Canada through a Canadian importer or distributor, who handles the import. Opening a company there can make sense if you are going to sell directly to retailers or hold inventory in Canada. During the consultation we look at which path suits you.
What is the CFIA and what does it require?
The CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) regulates the import of food, plants and animals. Depending on your product, it may require the importer to hold a licence under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, phytosanitary certificates and English and French labelling.
Do you work with small companies or those just starting to export?
Yes. I work both with companies that already export to other markets and with those taking their first step. In our first conversation we assess whether your product and your company are ready for Canada.
Which countries can I work with you from?
I mainly support companies from Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, as well as other Latin American countries. I work remotely from Toronto.
Do you also advise on investments or projects in Canada?
Yes. Beyond exporting, I connect agribusiness, mining and investment projects between Canada and the Andean countries with Canadian investors and partners.
How much does the advisory cost?
The first 20-minute conversation is free. After that, the scope and cost depend on what you need, and I explain it clearly before we start.
