In Toronto the Caixas are located in Portuguese ethnic areas and they are referred to as Foreign Correspondent offices of Portuguese banks.
In Quebec Caisses are co-operative banks usually operating as bankers and investors to civil service employees much like a Credit Union. Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) is the second largest pension and investment fund in Canada after the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The returns they receive from their investments are very high while taking minimal risk because they have billions to invest.
