WHO WE ARE. 30 influential young Canadians were selected from 650+ applicants to be Ambassadors for their region on a three-week trade mission to China this August. We work with businesses and governments within our respective regions to establish mandates. Mandates are objectives that your organization has, that we will work to achieve for you in China.

Global Vision is a national charitable organization, founded in 1991 by former Member of Parliament, Terry Clifford C.M. Since then Global Vision has had over 10,000 young leaders participate in its globally focused programs and over 1,000 young leaders represent Canada and their community on the global stage in over 30 different countries on 6 continents.

VISIT CURRENT VENDORS AND RELATIONSHIPS. In China, the most important element of business is “guanxi”, meaning relationships. Chinese businesses value gestures and gifts more than Western counterparts. This is why they are so impressed when you invest in visiting and speaking to them. Past Ambassadors have helped in re-negotiating contracts and finding new product opportunities for partners.

CONDUCT EXPLORATORY RESEARCH. Past Junior Team Canada Ambassadors have investigated and prepared detailed reports for partners on possible expansion, sourcing, and marketing strategies.

GAIN PUBLICITY. Becoming a Junior Team Canada partner means your brand will be featured prominently beside ours. With different levels of contribution, your brand could be featured on our website, social media, emailing list, and more. Placements and official endorsements are also available.
