12 claimsIndia and Canada began the fourth round of negotiations for the proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) in New Delhi on Monday, 14 September 2026.
The talks are scheduled to run for five days from 14 to 18 September 2026 in New Delhi.
The agenda covers trade in goods, services, rules of origin, and technical trade barriers, among other issues.
Both countries have set a target to conclude the CEPA negotiations before the end of 2026.
The third round of CEPA negotiations was held in Ottawa in July 2026.
India and Canada have targeted to increase bilateral trade to USD 50 billion by 2030 (also framed as CAD 70 billion / Rs 4.65 lakh crore per the Modi-Carney joint statement of March 2026).
Two-way trade in 2025-26 fell 8.22% to USD 7.95 billion (exports USD 4.67bn, imports USD 3.28bn) from USD 8.66 billion in 2024-25 (exports USD 4.22bn, imports USD 4.44bn).
Canada hosts over 4,25,000 Indian students and a strong Indian diaspora.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian PM Mark Carney agreed in New Delhi in March 2026 to conclude CEPA by year-end and to deepen cooperation in energy and critical minerals.
Key Indian exports to Canada include pharmaceuticals, iron and steel, seafood, cotton garments, electronic goods, chemicals, jewellery/gems, machinery parts, engineering goods and auto parts.
Major Indian imports from Canada include pulses, fertiliser, coal / mineral fuels, paper / wood pulp, petroleum crude, pearls and semi-precious stones, iron & aluminium scrap, and aircraft parts.
The CEPA push reflects a marked thaw in bilateral ties after relations hit rock bottom under former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's tenure; Carney's March 2026 visit reset the relationship.
