Canada–Panama relations are foreign relations between Canada and Panama. The two countries established diplomatic relations in 1961.[1] Both countries are full members of the Organization of American States.

In August 2009, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli signed a bilateral free trade agreement known as the Canada–Panama Free Trade Agreement.[2][3] It was formally ratified by the Parliament of Canada three years later and entered into force on April 1, 2013.[4] In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the total yearly trade between the two countries was estimated to be between 200M$ and 250M$.[2][5]

In 2008, Canada and Panama made an air transport agreement. This agreement put into place a new, modern framework for scheduled air services between Canada and Panama. This agreement is responsible for increase tourism since 2008, between Canada and Panama. [6][1][2][7][8][3][4][5]
