China Investment Corporation or CIC, the country's sovereign wealth fund, reportedly plans to open a Toronto office.
According to newswires, CIC with US$300 billion under management, plans to announce the new representative office on Friday.
Fund managers say the reason for choosing Toronto may be twofold -- first for potential investments geared towards Canada's natural resources, while second might be for tax benefits.
The extension to Toronto comes as CIC is trying to expand its business operations internationally and to be taken seriously as a global investment group.
It will be CIC's second office outside mainland China, after opening a Hong Kong office last year.
A CIC spokesperson declined to comment.
