About 80% are satisfied with the services they have received. (Source: 2011TCS client survey) 1. New or experienced . . .Before we deliver services, we need to know that the Canadian company is prepared and committed to the market and will be able to deliver products or services. 2. The request could come from any number of different firms. The main concern is that the TCS service provided will lead to economic benefit and prosperity for Canada. 3. The request could be from a consultant or student, but they must have a mandate from the Canadian company they are representing.
  25. This is the TCS value proposition, and it comes at no financial cost to our clients (Canadian Tax dollars at work) Our success is your success -- we want to understand your international objectives and help you achieve them. We will do what it takes to deliver these services
