I, Donald J. Walker, Chief Executive Officer, of Magna International Inc.,
certify the following:

1. Review: I have reviewed the interim financial report and interim MD&A
together, the "interim filings") of Magna International Inc. (the "issuer")
for the interim period ended March 31, 2011.

2. No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable
diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or
that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered
by the interim filings.

3. Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable
diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial
information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of
the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim
filings.

4. Responsibility: The issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR),
as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification
of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer.

5. Design: Subject to the limitations, if any, described in paragraphs
5.2 and 5.3, the issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have, as at
the end of the period covered by the interim filings

(a) designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance that

(i) material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by
others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are
being prepared; and

(ii) information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual
filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under
securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

(b) designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with the issuer's GAAP.

5.1 Control framework: The control framework the issuer's other certifying
officer(s) and I used to design the issuer's ICFR is the Internal Control -
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

5.2 N/A

5.3 N/A

6. Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has disclosed in its interim MD&A
any change in the issuer's ICFR that occurred during the period beginning
on January 1, 2011 and ended on March 31, 2011 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer's ICFR.

Date: May 13, 2011.
