I think the barriers that would be faced by women entrepreneurs are similar to those faced by any other small or medium-sized enterprise in Canada. Is there a market for my goods? Who is my partner? Is there a demand for my product or service? Who do I do business with in the market?
Financial aspects are another impediment. International trade is expensive to get into. It's not cost-free. It's not risk-free to go to China, for example. But the barriers are not unique to women.
