Established in 1946, the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is a federal Crown corporation mandated to promote and facilitate international trade on behalf of Canadian industry, particularly within government markets. The Corporation’s two business lines are structured to support Canadian companies contracting into the defence sector, primarily with the United States, and Canadian exporters contracting into emerging and developing country markets.

In this regard, CCC offers two principal services: prime contractor service, and procurement service. With its prime contractor service CCC acts as a prime contractor, signing a contract with a foreign government and, in turn, entering into a contract with a Canadian supplier. When providing its procurement services CCC helps a foreign government identify appropriate Canadian vendors and awards a contract that will satisfy foreign government requirements. When a foreign buyer enters into a Procurement Service Agreement (PSA) with CCC, the Corporation will act as a Canadian procurement agent under a government-to-government arrangement.
