Canada’s strategic advantage when exporting into European markets
Canada’s free trade agreements (FTAs) with Europe give exporters a competitive edge, yet many companies aren’t taking full advantage of them.
Only 34% of exporters use the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Even fewer are using Canada’s other European trade agreements, including:
- Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (Canada-UK TCA)
- Canada–European Free Trade Association (EFTA) agreement
- Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA)

In this webinar, we’ll explore country-specific insights for markets, like the U.K., Germany, France, Sweden and Poland, and share how to overcome Europe’s regulatory and compliance challenges with strategic support.
