Infographic from https://madeinca.ca/grocery-store-guide/ on Product of Canada versus Made in Canada.
Made in Canada - A product must meet the following criteria to be considered Made in Canada:
1. The last substantial transformation of the good occurred in Canada.
2. At least 51% of the total direct costs of producing or manufacturing the good have been incurred in Canada.
3. The “Made in Canada” representation is accompanied by an appropriate qualifying statement, such as “Made in Canada with imported parts” or “Made in Canada with domestic and imported parts”. This could also include more specific information such as “Made in Canada with 60% Canadian content and 40% imported content”.
Product of Canada - For a product to be considered a Product of Canada, it must meet the following criteria:
1. The last substantial transformation of the good occurred in Canada.
2. All or virtually all (at least 98%) of the total direct costs of producing or manufacturing the good have been incurred in Canada.
Tl;dr for an easy way to tell: "*Made* in Canada" on packaging is okay, "*Product* of Canada" is gold star. #BuyCanadian #IShopCanada #BuyCanadianFirst #MadeInCanada
