Turkey..next to the EU
Eastern Bloc.. next to the EU

Australia...Thousands of miles away
Canada..Thousands of miles away
New Zealand..Thousands of miles away

Of course this would be bloody brilliant but it won't happen the Franco-German alliance wouldn't allow it. Could u see them tolerating an influx on English speaking nations.

Canada may be given association status at most I feel. The French and German public seem to have deep problems with allowing Turkey to join which is after all the EUs neighbour!

Cyprus and Malta are two Commonwealth nations which are now EU members.

The fact that Canada is working closer with the EU is good while the UK is still part of the EU. It will help to restore and build up some of the economic ties with the UK, which I am sure would be maintained when the UK leaves the EU. It also shows that Canada is interested in more than just North America. This is only a baby step - but it is in the right direction and it does help us.

I also agree that France and Germany may not want Canada in the EU. However, that being said, France is keen to strengthen ties with Quebec.
