As stated by Carney, this is not exactly true, but something like this has been expected. From a legal and sovereignty standpoint, EU membership of any kind does not make sense. A novel bloc of nations centered around military and economic cooperation that includes the EU and Canada however, does.

  It certainly does not make sense seeing as Canada is not in Europe.

    French Guiana is a fully integrated member of the European Union and is in South America.

    Because it’s a fully integrated part of France.
