Ohio sells more goods to Canada than to its next six largest foreign markets combined

$19.9 billion in annual exports of goods to Canada
$19.0 billion in annual imports of goods from Canada
Did you know?
Ohio’s top import from Canada is crude petroleum and
this contributes to job creation, energy security, and
affordability throughout the Midwest. Calgary-based
Cenovus Energy Inc announced plans to expand its
headquarters in Dublin, Ohio which will add 115 technical
and professional services jobs to the more than 1,200
Ohioans already employed by Cenovus. The move
parallels Cenovus’ decision to invest an additional $1.5
billion in a pair of refineries that it operates in Toledo and
Lima. Cenovus’ Lima Refinery is the longest-running
continuously operating oil refinery in the U.S. while its
Toledo Refinery is more than 100 years old. Cenovus’
investments will further enhance those refineries, expand
its Ohio-based workforce and unleash Ohio’s energy.
