    EU already said this can’t work. It said in the rules only European countries can join the EU. But something can be worked out, no doubt.

      Membership of the European Economic Area - same as Norway - for example.

      Comes with being part of the EU Internal Market, Freedom Of Movement (both ways, of course) and exceptions in a couple of areas (such as fishing rights not being decided by the EU, which I suspect is something that Canada would rather have) but without voting power within the EU.

      You have to be “substantially European”, which includes Cyprus, which is fully in Asia and half Turkish. Also, Greenland and to a degree Iceland aren’t geographically European.
