One prediction market prices this story:
- Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 7%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Canada and the European Union sign an agreement that expands rights for Canadians to live or work in the EU between now and January 1, 2027. The market resolves to No if no such agreement is concluded by that deadline. Readers often mistake the linked news headline about strengthening ties as sufficient proof of a signed agreement.
