The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) is an independent not-for-profit organization focused on Canada’s relations with Asia. Our mission is to be Canada’s catalyst for engagement with Asia and Asia’s bridge to Canada.
APF Canada is dedicated to strengthening ties between Canada and Asia through its research, education, and convening activities, such as the Canada-in-Asia Conferences series, our Women’s Business Missions to Asia, and the APEC-Canada Growing Business Partnership project.
For nearly four decades, our research has provided high-quality, relevant, and timely information, insights, and perspectives on Canada-Asia relations for Canadians and stakeholders across the Asia Pacific.
We are funded primarily by the proceeds of an endowment from the Government of Canada and by corporate and individual donors. The affairs of APF Canada are governed by a Board of Directors.
An annual report is provided to the Minister of Foreign Affairs within four months of the end of the Foundation's fiscal year (March 31). The Minister may table a copy of the report before each House of Parliament.
The structure and activities of the Foundation are governed by the Asia-Pacific Foundation Act (1985 as amended). See the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.A-13).
