Surety Up North: Canadian, U.S. Surety Industries Differ in Several Key Ways

In the northernmost sections of Canada, where the sun disappears for months each year during long, punishing winters, it’s not always easy to work outside and stay on schedule. A construction project anywhere on earth can hit a snag, but in the most remote areas of the world’s second-largest country in land mass, setbacks can be considerably more costly.

The vastness of Canada is just one of the factors that make its surety industry different in some key ways from its U.S. counterpart. Though the similarities far outnumber the differences, just like the two countries themselves, they are not one and the same.
