Canada Becomes First EU Associated Member
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared that Canada will be the first associated member of the European Union. The two parties aim to formalize Canada's new status by June 2027. Canada hosted the Canada-EU Summit in Montréal, Québec, where Prime Minister Carney was joined by the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to launch the Alliance for the Future. Together, Canada and the EU will deliver more choice and lower costs for families, new export markets for businesses, and greater opportunities for young people to live, work, and study where they want – in Canada or the EU.
