CCIFWC is launching a selective Call for Expressions of Interest to build its Expert & Preferred Supplier Pool, a trusted circle of endorsed experts and service providers recognized and referred by one of Canada’s most active bilateral chambers of commerce.

As the only official French Chamber of Commerce serving Western Canada, and a member of CCI France International, a global network spanning more than 120 countries, CCIFWC brings together francophone and francophile entrepreneurs, executives, investors and decision-makers across British Columbia, Alberta and beyond. Selection for the Pool is more than a listing in a directory: it is a curated institutional endorsement, recommending your expertise directly to businesses, organizations and institutions seeking trusted professionals.

Priority Sectors

The Chamber is particularly interested in experts aligned with its sector committees, though applications from other sectors are also welcome:

• Aerospace
• Art de Vivre (Food, Wine, Hospitality & Luxury)
• Tech & Innovation
• People (Human Resources, Talent & Leadership)
• Energy & Natural Resources

Selective and Time-Limited

This is not a broad supplier database. Our objective is a carefully selected network of trusted professionals the Chamber can confidently recommend to its members, partners and stakeholders. The call will remain open only until the Pool reaches capacity, so interested applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Eligibility Criteria

• Active registration as a business or professional practitioner.
• Recognized expertise supported by client references, testimonials or examples of previous work.
• Compliance with any licences, certifications or professional accreditations applicable to your profession.
• A proven ability to deliver high-quality services professionally and on schedule.
• Experience with SMEs, entrepreneurs, international organizations or multicultural environments is a strong asset.

What the Pool Offers

• Direct referrals whenever expertise is requested by Chamber members, partners or the Chamber itself.
• Increased visibility within an influential French-Canadian business community.
• Association with a respected international Chamber of Commerce.
• Access to a dynamic cross-cultural network connecting French and Canadian businesses.
• Opportunities to collaborate on Chamber initiatives, projects and events.

Please note that professional assignments and consulting services requested through the Chamber, or resulting from Chamber referrals, are paid engagements. Compensation is agreed directly between the parties, according to the nature and scope of each mandate.

How to Apply

Open to both companies and individual professionals, independent consultants and subject-matter experts are strongly encouraged to apply. Please send the following to info@ccifwc.ca:

• A brief presentation of your company or professional practice (max. one page).
• A description of the services you provide.
• Your contact information.
• Two or three client references or testimonials.

Where French business culture meets Western Canadian ambition, this is the network that opens doors.
