About CIIM Toronto Toronto is of strategic importance for CIIM. In fact, with a work force of almost 3 million people, more than 100,000 companies, and a gross domestic product of $360 billion CAD, the Greater Toronto Area is Canada's undisputed business and manufacturing capital. Moreover it is home to the largest concentration of Italian communities in North America and has thousands of companies owned or managed by Italian-Canadians. Despite these facts, the importance of this region is too often ignored by Italian companies. CIIM Toronto works with many companies inside and outside of Italy to discover the fertile business landscape that Toronto and the state of Ontario provide.
