6. Canadian Pacific Railway: Headquartered in Alberta, Canada, Canadian Pacific Railway was established in 1881 with the mission of connecting Canada’s Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Its construction—and the railway network it built—was once considered one of Canada’s greatest engineering achievements. Its development is likewise an epic chapter in Canadian history. The company provides over 12,700 miles of transcontinental rail and intermodal services across Canada and the United States. Its network spans Canada from Vancouver in the west to Montreal in the east, and extends into U.S. cities including Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York. Throughout its history, Canadian Pacific Railway has diversified beyond rail transport into numerous sectors—including livestock farming, natural gas energy, and bus transportation. 7. Bank of Montreal (BMO): Bank of Montreal—commonly known as BMO—is Canada’s first chartered bank and fourth-largest bank. Founded in 1817, it is Canada’s oldest bank and currently operates approximately 1,550 branches across Canada and globally. As of October 31, 2023, BMO operated nearly 900 branches across Canada, serving close to eight million individual and business customers. Although its legal headquarters remains in Montreal, its operational headquarters relocated to First Canadian Place in Toronto in 1977. BMO is the only Canadian bank offering a student discount credit card (SPC Card), providing 10–15% discounts at over 120 retailers nationwide. It is also the sole one among Canada’s ‘Big Five’ banks to issue Mastercard-branded cards, with special benefits for students. 8. Thomson Reuters: Reuters—the news agency widely recognized in China—is a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters. In 2008, Thomson Financial—a Canadian family-owned enterprise—acquired Reuters Group PLC, merging the two firms into Thomson Reuters. This acquisition not only represented a corporate merger but also triggered a major transformation in the global information services industry. The newly formed Thomson Reuters integrated Thomson’s core businesses—including ThomsonOne, Legal Business, and IP & Science—becoming one of the world’s top three information providers. 9. Canadian Natural Resources Limited: Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL), headquartered in Canada, is an independent crude oil and natural gas exploration, development, and production company. It engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, production, marketing, and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
