Conceived by me in 1993, FinditinCanada.ca was brought to life as CityVU Montreal, in mid 1994. As founder and still a principal director of the company, I have driven its progress from an early vision alone to its present status as a major competitor to Yellow Pages Group (online) in Canada. FinditinCanada.ca is a Canadian Internet only Business Directory (IYP). FinditinCanada is a match-maker, bringing those looking for products & services to the door of those who can provide those products & services. FinditinCanada.ca also acts as a local aggregator, purchasing local searches from a plethora of niches in a mass of different categories and delivering these individual and hugely valuable matches to our clientele in a cost-effective and seamless package.
