This research investigates the impact of cultural intelligence (CQ) on the expatriate adjustment or cross cultural adjustment (CCA) of Indian Expatriates working in Canada. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 95 Indians working in Canada. The findings of the study confirmed a positive and significant influence of CQ and its dimensions on cross- cultural adjustment dimensions. Motivational CQ, specifically, was the strongest predictive variables for all the three dimensions of CCA. Therefore, expatriates scoring high on motivation tended to adjust easily and fairly better on all the aspects of life in Canada whether general living conditions, or interaction with people at workplace or outside. Also, the expatriates having higher meta- cognitive CQ had higher level of interaction adjustment. The results of the study provides a strong empirical base for the organizations which are seeing forward for the global mobility of Indian expatriates, which is further helpful in contributing towards the successful expatriation of Indians
