Canada: Hiring, Funding And Leadership Signals
Every update we hold that a source placed in Canada: 168 updates from 54 sources, across 155 employers. Each one links to the filing or report that makes the claim. These are counts of documents we have read, so they measure what we have found and can cite, not everything that happened. They also include the routine officer filings the tracker sets aside by default, so its figure for this place is lower than the one above.
Covering 2 Jan 2026 to 4 Sep 2026
$8,157,200,335 disclosed across 41 funding updates. Totals cover the 37 of 41 funding updates that are money the employer raised, stated in US dollars. We leave out amounts in other currencies rather than convert them at a rate nobody published. We also leave out money that moved for another reason: a sale price, a fund close, a company spending rather than raising, government funding, a pledge.
