Montreal International, greater Montreal’s investment promotion agency, has been working with Webhelp on the expansion plans since last year. The agency, a public-private partnership partly funded by the province and the Canadian government, said it has supported nine French companies in launching or expanding operations in the region since January.
The promise of new jobs is welcome news for Montreal’s economy, which has seen aerospace, tourism and other key sectors decimated by government-imposed border closings and other measures. The city’s economy will decline by 6.2 per cent in 2020 from 2019, according to a forecast by Desjardins Group economists.
