While Canada agreed in return to allow in certain Chinese steel and aluminum products, the deal was set to expire at the end of this year.
Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu says that deal is being extended by two years, to the end of 2028.
He says the credit goes to a trade body Canada and China relaunched in January as Ottawa moved to increase exports to China by 50 per cent by 2030.
Sidhu is in Beijing for meetings with officials ahead of Carney’s planned visit to Shenzhen later this month for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit.
