During WW2 at the Fairchild factory in Longueuil, Quebec, 300 Curtiss Helldivers were built during 1943-44. After the contract for Helldiver production ended, in 1945 Fairchild began building sections of the Vought Corsair and Grumman Tiger Cat but the ending of the war cut that short.
Meanwhile, Canadian Car and Foundry (below) built 834 of the dive bombers.
