As Canada’s premier and trusted franchise exhibition and the only franchise show backed by the CFA, it’s where dreams of business ownership meet proven franchise success stories. Attendees will explore leading franchise concepts, gain insider knowledge through expert-led education, and connect directly with franchisors and successful franchisees.
“Many Canadians are eager to explore business ownership but want guidance and confidence as they take that step,” says Sherry McNeil, President & CEO of the Canadian Franchise Association. “At the Franchise Canada Show, attendees can connect directly with reputable brands, learn from experienced franchisees, and access the resources needed to start their journey with confidence.”
Having ambition
Entrepreneurial ambition is booming across Canada. While a majority of Canadians say they dream of owning a business, only a small percentage have taken the first step. Franchising helps bridge this gap by offering a proven model with strong operational support, and a network of experienced business owners to guide new entrepreneurs.
As the voice of franchising in Canada, the CFA encourages Canadians to ‘Look for the Logo’ when exploring opportunities. The CFA Member logo indicates that a brand is a qualified franchise opportunity and has committed to excellence in franchising by adhering to the CFA’s Code of Ethics, a signal of credibility, reliability, and best practices in the franchise industry.
With free admission for those who pre-register, the fall show makes it easier than ever to explore options, compare investment levels, and find the right fit for your goals and lifestyle.
Event highlights:
- Meet top franchise brands – explore trusted opportunities across industries and investment levels, from foodservice and retail to health, home, and personal care
- Attend educational seminars & workshops – learn how to evaluate opportunities, secure financing, and navigate franchise agreements with confidence
- Join interactive roundtables & panels – participate in open conversations about trending topics such as evaluating franchise opportunities, choosing the right location, and how franchising can benefit newcomers to Canada
- Get inspired by successful franchisees – learn directly from business owners who turned their franchise into thriving success stories
- Network without limits – build connections with like-minded entrepreneurs, CFA member brands, and industry partners eager to share insights and opportunities
With a proven franchise system, you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Whether you’re exploring a career shift, planning your next investment, or simply curious about how franchising works, the Franchise Canada Show helps you discover the best path to business ownership, supported by education, community, and trusted guidance.
