About Us

Our Mission

At Canada Journal (Japan Advertising Ltd.), our motto is “Promoting a Borderless Life.”

Established in Vancouver, Canada in May 1981, our goal has been to introduce North American industry and culture to Japan, while fostering transformative cross-border exchange and lasting international connections.

Since our founding, we have proudly supported numerous projects led by the Canadian government, public organizations, industry associations, and private enterprises – helping bring their vision, values, and initiatives to Japan.

At the same time, we have developed and hosted a wide variety of exchange programs, creating valuable opportunities for individuals in Japan and Canada to connect directly and in more meaningful ways.

Today, more than ever, we live in a world where business, education, leisure, daily life, and even politics must be viewed through an increasingly global lens.

We believe that a truly borderless life begins the moment we remove the invisible barriers within ourselves.

Our mission is to empower individuals with a global perspective by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and expertise we have developed over decades. We aim to promote deeper international understanding and contribute to our vision of a world without borders.
