This paper investigates the overall research of Canadian think tanks in the year of 2015 and takes CIGI as an example，analyzing its new ideas and summarizes its latest research on the issue of global governance. In general，Canada’s political and economic situation makes the think tanks develop their particular features，such as small-scale but single-minded；in recent years，due to lack of funds and other problems a few think tanks have been shut down. The development of Canadian think tanks，to some extent，can provide a reference for the construction of Chinese think tanks with Chinese characteristics.
