2026年10月29日，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩与加拿大总理马克·卡尼在蒙特利尔举行特别峰会，旨在将双方关系提升至“最高水平”，重点讨论人工智能、气候、能源及安全政策 1。尽管冯德莱恩提出探索加拿大成为首个“准成员”（associate member）的可能性，称其理念为“无入盟的联合”（"Our idea is simple: it is an association without accession."），并认为这种伙伴关系比过往任何合作都更接近成员身份（"We can build a partnership that comes closer to membership than anything we have done before."），但受德国等成员国推动，峰会宣言预计不会使用这一术语 1。
此次峰会被视为加拿大减少对特朗普政府关税下美国依赖，以及欧盟希望摆脱对中国关键矿产依赖的战略动作 1。卡尼强调，关键在于该关系能否真正改善加拿大民众的生活（"What matters is the difference that it will make to the lives of Canadians."）1。潜在的合作成果包括欧洲投资银行支持加拿大关键矿产项目、达成数字贸易协定，以及加拿大参与Erasmus青年计划 1。
European Union and Canadian leaders convened a special summit in Montreal on October 29, 2026, aiming to elevate bilateral relations to their "highest level" 1. The agenda focused on coordinating policies in artificial intelligence, climate change, energy, and security 1. This strategic alignment reflects Canada’s effort to reduce its dependence on the United States amid tariffs under the Trump administration, while the EU seeks to diversify critical mineral supplies away from China 1.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed exploring the possibility of Canada becoming the first "associate member," stating, "Our idea is simple: it is an association without accession" 1. She added, "We can build a partnership that comes closer to membership than anything we have done before" 1. However, due to opposition from Germany and other member states, the summit declaration is not expected to use the specific term "associate member" 1. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized practical outcomes, noting, "What matters is the difference that it will make to the lives of Canadians" 1. Potential agreements discussed include support from the European Investment Bank for Canadian critical mineral projects, a digital trade agreement, and Canada's participation in the Erasmus youth program 1.
