Trade Context

  • UK is Canada's 3rd-largest export market (after US, China) — ~$25B CAD annually
  • CETA (Canada-EU CETA) provisionally applied since 2017; UK transitioned via Canada-UK TCA (2021) preserving near-tariff-free access
  • UK is a key gateway for Canadian goods into Europe

Canada runs a modest goods trade surplus with UK; services are more balanced. Future growth: clean tech, critical minerals, agri-innovation, digital trade.
