Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Canada in December 2026, according to an announcement from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office on October 13.

The planned visit follows a conversation between Carney and Modi, during which the two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and advancing economic cooperation.

A key priority is the proposed Canada–India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). Both governments have expressed a desire to conclude negotiations as soon as possible, with the agreement intended to deepen trade and investment ties between the two countries.

The visit could provide an opportunity for both governments to discuss market access, business partnerships and broader diplomatic cooperation. However, the announcement did not specify the exact dates of the visit or provide a finalized schedule of meetings.

The planned trip comes as Canada and India continue efforts to advance their relationship through high-level engagement and trade discussions.

Why it matters: A renewed diplomatic push could create opportunities for Canadian exporters, Indian businesses and investors, while shaping the future of Canada–India economic relations.

The two governments are expected to remain in contact ahead of the December visit.
