Let’s face it: while Canada may be a big country, it has a small population–equal to about California, in fact. The only way you’re going to make any serious money is by taking your music to international markets.

The Canadian Independent Music Association wants to help. From their press release:

CIMA is committed to finding and creating exporting opportunities for Canadian independent music, both domestically and internationally. We’re continually hard at work finding new showcasing, B2B and networking opportunities for our members, and here’s a snapshot of what’s in store over the next little while!
