Currently, data is showing that Canada will avoid a full recession this year.

Furthermore, that probability may decrease further in the coming days. After three years of dramatic economic change, Canada is on a path to steady, if slower, growth. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to increase 1.7%/quarter this year and 1.4%/quarter next year.
