The most notable aspects of the plan are the objectives of strengthening Brazil`s position as a gateway to Latin America through inter-regional and intra-regional free trade agreements and a large number of new trade facilitation programs. The first round of negotiations for a comprehensive free trade agreement between Canada and Mercosur took place in Ottawa on March 20, 2018. Canadian International Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne welcomed representatives from Mercosur member countries Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. A second round of negotiations was held in Brasilia from 11 to 15 June 2018, following a wide range of consultations with stakeholders, including representatives of businesses, industrial and economic organisations and non-governmental organisations. The third round of negotiations is expected to take place in Ottawa in September 2018. The product benefits of a free trade agreement between Mercosur and Canada can be very significant. It is estimated that tariff reductions would benefit 30% of Canadian exports, which would generate interest in various industrial sectors such as automotive, transportation equipment and some traditional sectors. This means that more than 2,000 items would benefit from the reduction in tariffs. A new dialogue was established in 2010 to launch a new debate on an agreement between Mercosur and Canada. At the time, bilateral trade between the parties exceeded $7.6 billion, making this potential partnership a potential strong commercial expansion.

Indeed, the flow of goods and investment has grown significantly by more than 25% between countries over the past ten years. Education remains a growing force in our bilateral relations. In 2019, there were 14,560 Brazilian students in Canada with study permits and about 25,000 students studied short-term languages in Canada, according to Languages Canada. The total number of Brazilians who have studied in Canada in 2019, including those with short-term studies that do not require a study permit, is estimated at 40,000, making Canada the number one international goal for Brazilian students. In addition, Brazil is the largest beneficiary of the emerging program of the leaders of the Americas of Canada in Latin America, and Canadian education associations are very active in Brazil - many have signed agreements with Brazilian authorities and Brazilian universities. Other trade and investment agreements between Canada and Brazil: the value of strengthening Canada-Brazil trade relations has been discussed and talked about over the past decade.
