CDMC
Canada Development & Mobility Compact
Voluntary • Rules-based • Multi-country

Build a bigger, safer, faster Canada — on purpose.

CDMC accelerates Canada's capacity, prosperity, and resilience by combining talent mobility, infrastructure capital, and capability co-development. Designed for a fractured world: higher throughput, predictable execution, strong rule-of-law.

Core thesis
Deterrence via capacity + economic weight

Build faster, diversify trade, move high-value services inland, and create partner corridors that are voluntary, reciprocal, and capacity-gated.

What CDMC is
A platform, not a bloc

Open-architecture compacts with multiple countries. No coercion, no nationality quotas — skills, investment, and standards co-development.

Who it’s for
Investors • Businesses • Talent • Governments

A “safe place” operating stack for volatile times: predictable execution, clear screening, and an investable project pipeline.

Why CDMC

When the world becomes less predictable, nations compete on throughput: housing, infrastructure, energy, skills onboarding, and institutional speed.

CDMC’s conversion promise
  • A safer operating base for capital and talent
  • Faster delivery via Acceleration Zones
  • Inland Digital Belt to de-border services
  • Partner value: mobility + returns + capability

How it works

CDMC is built from three lanes. Each compact can activate one lane—or all three.

Lane 1
Talent mobility

Skills pipelines aligned to Canadian standards. Intake is tied to verified housing and service capacity so scaling remains stable and politically durable.

Lane 2
Capital + project pipeline

Investable housing, infrastructure, and digital projects with transparent governance and clear screening rules. Built for long-horizon investors.

Lane 3
Capability co-development

Joint standards, credential frameworks, telehealth operations, cybersecurity norms, and interoperability tooling that reduce friction across partners.

What partners gain

CDMC is designed to deliver tangible wins for participating countries across short, medium, and long horizons — people, capital, and capability.

kn:t0
Immediate wins

Priority access for verified skills pipelines, first participation rights in the bankable project pipeline, and joint academies aligned to Canadian standards.

kn:t1
Compounding advantages

Circular talent flywheels and returnee skills uplift, Canada as a stable base for services + R&D, and interoperability that reduces transaction costs.

kn:t2
Strategic assets

A durable safe-jurisdiction node for global footprints, co-built institutions and capability transfer, and a growing multilateral interoperability layer.
