Mark Carney is currently Europe looking to build Canada-EU ties on national security, trade and economic ties, and people.
He will visit France and will attend the European Union State of address.
According to sources, he has proposed making Canada an associated partner of the European Union.
Carney said visa regulations and potential visa-free travel will be part of the talks.
Some commentators note the European Union's warm view of Carney is no guarantee of more straightforward trade agreements.
They also say closer ties could carry drawbacks for Canada.
