Ottawa’s Global Call for Research Excellence

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly at a press conference in Montreal about a federal push to attract top global researchers in Canada on Dec. 9, 2025.

The federal government is stepping up efforts to strengthen Canada’s position as a global leader in innovation by attracting top-tier research talent. Ottawa has announced new initiatives designed to bring world-class scientists, scholars, and innovators to Canadian institutions, with a particular focus on Canadians currently working abroad.

This renewed focus signals Canada’s commitment to investing in knowledge and ensuring that the country remains a destination where groundbreaking ideas can thrive.
