1. What is the CCCK?
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea -- CCCK -- is a non-profit organization serving the business needs of intra Korean-Canadian trade.
We are a membership-based organization. Members with vested interests in Korean or Canadian trade (including companies, government agencies and individuals) join our organization in order to benefit from the cumulative years of business experience that our membership represents.
The CCCK holds regular business meetings and social events, and also works closely with embassy and government officials in order to exchange vital information relevant to intra Korean-Canadian trade.

2. Why Join the CCCK?
There is one key reason why companies, government agencies and individuals become CCCK members: Chamber-sponsored events are a means to both collectively reflect Korean-Canadian trade and to enjoy social events within Korea.
Our active members seek to make a worthwhile contribution to the Korean community as a whole.
Members tap into a network of government as well as business experts; we help people make informed decisions regarding their operations. We also work with our members to represent their interests with government agencies.

8. Do you have a non-profit membership category? If so, who qualifies for it?
Members that qualify as non-profit are provided with an Honorary Membership; as such, their membership fees are waived. However they are required to pay for events by invitation, unless otherwise explicitly stated by the CCCK President and/or Executive Director.
Non-profit memberships (within the Honorary membership class) are provided under the discretion of the CCCK President and/or Executive Director.

9. Is the Chamber a profit or non-profit organization?
The CCCK is a non-profit organization. This means that monies raised are used to:
A) serve the needs of our member companies;
B) establish social events that help build ties among our members as well as make a meaningful contribution to the Korean community as a whole
10. Can you provide a list of Canadian companies operating in Korea, or a list of your members?
The CCCK makes efforts to provide information about our members to the general public, when to do so does not conflict with the needs our members. We read ALL emails and decide on a case-by-case basis whether to provide information about our members.
The CCCK cannot always provide a list Canadian companies operating in Korea for the following reasons:
- Many Canadian companies are represented through Korean agents or sales reps
- Some Canadian firms prefer to mediate their public relations efforts primarily through their websites
- Not all Canadian companies operating in Korea choose to become CCCK members

11. Where can I find information related to imported goods into Canada?
Persons seeking import information regarding the Canadian market should see visit the Industry Canada website:

The database can be searched by city name or product name; please bear in mind that not every sector may be represented, but major ones usually are.

12. Do you provide research information on the Korean or Canadian market?
Due to our limited staff size, the CCCK does not provide market research or sector reports regarding the Korean or Canadian market to the general public.
Nevertheless we do make efforts to cooperate with the public whenever possible, and as such, may provide contacts and/or information whenever possible.
