The CanGift Advantage
The CanGift Advantage
Why Join Canada’s Ultimate Gift & Home Network?
When you join the Canadian Gift Association (CanGift), you are not just paying an association fee, you are unlocking a high-powered business accelerator.
For an annual membership investment of just $450/year (pro-rated monthly if you join mid-year), you gain instant access to a powerful network of close to 500 businesses.
The hundreds, even thousands, of dollars you save using our group buying power will cover your annual membership fee many times over.
The Crown Jewel: Your Dual CFIB Gold Membership
Instant Value: $768+ Per Year (Fully Covered by CanGift!)
As a CanGift Gold Member, you automatically receive a fully sponsored, dual membership with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) at no extra cost.
If you were to purchase a CFIB membership on your own, the standard rate is $34/month ($408/year) baseline + $3 per employee. For a business with 10 employees, that is $768/year—and significantly more if your team is larger! CanGift hands this value to you completely free.
Through CFIB, your business gains access to:
- On-Demand Expert Advice: Direct access to specialized business counselors and HR consultants to guide you through regulatory changes and employment issues.
- Legal & HR Toolkits: Free access to employment contract templates, compliance webinars, and digital training courses. [1, 2]
