If Canada joins the EU, Canadian representatives to the European Parliament would need to be elected via proportional representation, it's part of the requirements. (en.wikipedia.org)

There is no uniform voting system for the election of [Members of the European Parliament]; rather, each member state is free to choose its own system, subject to certain restrictions:

I think CANZUK can be faster. Still, even while pursuing CANZUK, we can also pursue closer EU integration. We're going to need to do more business with the EU, and the UK is already in a position where despite Brexit, they need to maintain business with the EU.

Even if Canada was to formally join the EU, I think it would take quite a while. EU member nations haven't even finished ratifying CETA. CANZUK can move faster for sure. Unfortunately for CANZUK, what Canada's biggest contribution would have been is what is being undermined, integration with the North American market.
