Relations between Canada and the European Union (EU) and its forerunners date back to the 1950s. While the relationship is primarily an economic one, there are also matters of political cooperation. Canadians also use English and French — both European languages — as official and majority languages.

The European Union (EU) is a strategic partner for Canada. Our relationship with the EU is the oldest formal relationship with any industrialised country dating back to 1959. We continue to work closely together in a number of areas from trade and security to agriculture and education.

The EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a progressive trade agreement between the EU and Canada. It entered into force provisionally in 2017, meaning that most of the agreement now applies.
