On April 16, 2020, the Government of Canada issued Notice to Exporters Serial 992 "Notice to Exporters – Export of items listed on the Export Control List to Turkey" in which Global Affairs Canada announced that it had lessened the export permit restrictions on Turkey. On October 15, 2019, Canada announced that had temporarily suspended the issuance of any new export permits to Turkey, particularly for military equipment and technology. The April 16th announcement reversed the previous suspension in part.

Now, as a general rule, Global Affairs Canada will review, on a case-by-case basis, export permit applications for Export Control List (ECL) goods, with the exception of Group 2 (military goods) of the ECL.
