The CEA has begun collecting nominations to be later voted on in October of this year.
There are an estimated 2.7 million Canadians living and working around the globe. This population is made up of extremely well educated, linguistically adept, culturally articulate and some of the most successful networks in the world. “One of the primary goals of the association is to demonstrate to Canada the contributions that these individuals make to both Canada and the world.” Says Allan Nichols, founder and president of the CEA. “Literally billions of dollars in bilateral trade can be attributed directly and indirectly to Canadians living abroad. These people are creating jobs for Canadians and revenue for Canadian companies. The search for the Most Influential Canadian Expat in the World is an effort to recognize some of the stars out there.”
Anyone can submit names for nomination. On October 1st, a condensed list of the top names will be put out for a vote. Again, voting will be open to all.

About the Canadian Expat Association:
The Canadian Expat Association is a Non-Profit, Non-Government community linking all Canadians living abroad under one bilingual platform. At nearly 9% of the total population of Canada, the estimated 2.7 million Canadians living abroad can connect regardless of where they are living in the world. First opening its doors in the summer of 2007, the association now offers the opportunity for members to search in both French and English for global events, search for Canadian member companies operating around the world, read articles and obtain information that will help improve their lives while abroad. As an advocate for Canadian Expats, the association plays a key role representing Canadians that until now have had no collective voice.
Our Mandate:
· To provide a platform for Canadians to access already established Canadian clubs and business organizations around the world.
· To provide Canadians with useful and interesting information to help make their lives better before moving, while abroad and when returning home.
· To assist Canadian clubs and business organizations promote their organizations and activities to Canadians around the world.
· To assist Canadian companies promote their organizations to Canadians around the world.
· To work in partnership with related organizations and government offices to promote the cultural and economic development of Canada and Canadian Companies in order to improve the lives of Canadians both living in Canada and abroad.
· To act as an advocate for Canadians who are living abroad & to provide a voice for the community of Canadian Expats.
