Canada - Chile Free Trade Agreement
Signed on December 5, 1996, and implemented on July 5, 1997, the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) is a comprehensive agreement that covers trade in goods and services, as well as the bilateral investment relationship. The CCFTA was Canada’s first Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with a South American country, while for Chile it was the first comprehensive FTA concluded with any country.
As the bilateral trade relationship moves forward, Canada will continue to look for ways to further enhance its trade and economic relationship with Chile.
