Check out these new CETA temporary entry guides which offer practical information to businesses on how to navigate temporary entry processes into 17 EU countries.

The European Union (EU) is Canada’s second-largest global trading partner, and thanks to the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), businesses enjoy preferential access to over a million new potential customers! CETA also standardizes product requirements, investment, professional certification while upholding labour rights and environmental protection.

Capped the end of a busy week by meeting Andrii Romanchuk from the Association of Ukranian Business in Poland (Zrzeszenie ukraińskiego biznesu w Polsce), a group which is dedicated to improving business ties between 🇵🇱🇺🇦 , Ukraine, and soon 🇨🇦! We had a long discussion about the vast potential for #triangularcooperation between our three countries, citing examples such as the Canadian-owned ASTARTA, one of Ukraine's biggest agricultural companies that's listed on the Warsaw stock exchange, and the joint engagement of Canadian and Polish investors on Drone production. A frank discussion was also had about the challenges of doing business (something which is honestly not talked about enough, because how else can you discuss solutions!), including corruption, border blockades, sanctions evasion, labour shortages, making payments to Ukranian companies who are still officially registered within the Temporarily Occupied Territories, and the shortage of skilled labour in Ukraine. However, Andrii shared a vision that I found quite powerful. Many Poles emigrated in the 90s and 2000s, but with EU accession and Poland's continuing economic miracle, more and more Poles, including from Canada are returning, bringing with them valuable experiences, skills and linguistic abilities, all critical things for the modern economy. Let's work together to make this vision come true. For our part, the Government of Canada is working on a number of things to make this a reality. 1) The modernized Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement. Vira Savchenko recently did a great analysis on how this will be a gamechanger ⬇ https://acesse.one/jhuFn 2) Our Trade Minister Mary Ng has committed to visiting Ukraine this year 3) Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) will be leading another Canada Pavilion at the ReBuild Ukraine Expo/Conference this November in Ukraine. We are very excited to be partnering with the Canada Ukraine Chamber of Commerce on this! 4) Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada continues to offer insurance to Canadian companies wishing to do business in Ukraine. 5) The Trade Commissioner Service | Service des délégués commerciaux at Embassy of Canada to Ukraine | Ambassade du Canada en Ukraine (Ielyzaveta Zhuravska, Yury Mardak Olesya Sheremok ) and us in Poland remain committed to helping you grow your business. Ielyzaveta Zhuravska , Katarzyna Piliszek-Kaminska, CITP/FIBP, and Ewa Cichocka are also working on a #SmartCities mission in conjunction with Ukranian cities to Poland in Autumn! Because if you think of Ukraine, think Poland, and if you're thinking about Poland, think about Ukraine. #Strongertogether 💪 #Razemsilniejsi #Разомсильніше

Canada has a unique culture and society with strong Anglo-French roots and a notable Indigenous presence. 🇨🇦 For Italian businesses, understanding this diversity is key to tapping into market opportunities. With a well-organized economy focused on extractive and energy industries, Canada offers great potential—especially for those bringing innovation and specialized skills. To succeed, companies must navigate local regulations and cultural dynamics, including those of the First Nations. The CETA agreement has eased trade, but Canada's protectionist stance means a local presence is crucial. Building strong networks is essential for a stable and profitable presence in this promising market. Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/eqGmZptP #BusinessOpportunities #ItalyCanada #GlobalTrade

May is now Polish Heritage month ACROSS Canada, reflecting the significant contributions Polish Canadians have made to the strength and diversity of our country. 🇨🇦🇵🇱 Canada-Poland relations are so strong (and growing) because of our people-to-people ties, rooted in the 250+ years of Polish immigration to Canada and the nearly 1 million Canadians today of Polish origin. This is especially true for our commercial relations. The proof of this? Every single day I speak with: -Canadians of Polish origin who are looking to expand or grow their business in Poland -Poles who lived in Canada and now want to invest in Canada or sell high-quality Polish products in Canada - Organizations like the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Polish Business Association, Canada-Poland Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Polish Congress which are dedicated to the promotion and continual nurturing of Polish-Canadian relations. - Polish-Canadians in the Canadian Government like my colleague Ewa Cichocka, or Natalia Wiatrowski in the Trade Commissioner Service | Service des délégués commerciaux who strive to expand business, trade and investment opportunities between Canada and Poland. - Polish-Canadians like Romi Jaszczynski and Michael K. Dembek at the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) 's amazing Toronto office who are so dedicated to helping Canadians invest in Poland and assisting Polish entrepreneurs to do business in Canada. Kudos to those who pushed this motion forward, as well as the 328 MPs who UNANIMOUSLY voted to make this a reality. This is just another layer of an already rich and multi-faceted relationship. I to tylko początek! #obytakdalej #strongertogether
