Programme for the
Issuance of Debt Instruments

This document (the "Offering Memorandum") constitutes an offering memorandum in respect of the
Programme (as defined below). Instruments (as defined below) issued on or after the date of this Offering
Memorandum are issued subject to the provisions herein. This Offering Memorandum does not constitute
a base prospectus for the purpose of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus
Regulation") or for the purpose of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus
Regulation").
Under the programme for the issuance of debt instruments (the "Programme") which is described in this
Offering Memorandum, Export Development Canada (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant
laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue debt instruments (the "Instruments")
denominated in any currency agreed by the Issuer and the relevant purchaser. The aggregate principal
amount of Instruments issued under the Programme will not at any time exceed USD30,000,000,000 (or
the equivalent in other currencies).
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Instruments issued under the
Programme during the period of twelve months following the date of this document to be admitted to the
official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF Market"). The Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market
for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU) (as amended,
"MiFID II"). The Programme provides that Instruments may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case
may be, on such further or other stock exchanges or markets as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as
defined herein) may agree as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (as defined herein), subject to
compliance with all applicable laws and the rules of such stock exchange. The applicable Pricing
Supplement (as defined below) will specify whether the Instruments are to be listed and the stock
exchange or market on which they will be listed, or whether the Instruments will not be listed.
This Offering Memorandum is a "base prospectus" for the purposes of admission to listing on the Official
List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admission to trading of the Instruments on the Euro MTF
Market in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Part IV of the
Luxembourg Law of 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities. THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION.

they fully understand. See "Risk Factors" at page 8 hereof.

If and to the extent that this Offering Memorandum is communicated in, or an offer of Instruments
under the Programme is made in, any Member State, this Offering Memorandum and the offer are
only addressed to and directed at persons in that Member State who are qualified investors within

NOTICES REGARDING OFFERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Instruments in the United
Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation from the
ii

requirement to produce or publish a prospectus for offers of Instruments. Accordingly, any person making
or intending to make any offer in the United Kingdom of the Instruments which are the subject of an
offering contemplated in this Offering Memorandum as completed, supplemented or modified by the
applicable Pricing Supplement in relation to those Instruments may only do so in circumstances in which
no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to produce or publish a prospectus pursuant to section 85
of the Financial Services and Markets Act, 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") or Article 3 of the UK
Prospectus Regulation in relation to such offer and neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorized, nor
do they authorize, the making of an offer of Instruments in any other circumstances.
If and to the extent that this Offering Memorandum is communicated in, or an offer of Instruments
under the Programme is made in, the United Kingdom, this Offering Memorandum and the offer are
only addressed to and directed at persons in the United Kingdom who are qualified investors
within the meaning of the UK Prospectus Regulation (or who are other persons to whom the offer
may lawfully be addressed) and must not be acted upon by other persons in the United Kingdom.
The Issuer does not consent to the use of this Offering Memorandum in any other circumstances.
Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of
Instruments in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a
prospectus or supplement a prospectus pursuant to the FSMA or the UK Prospectus Regulation for such
offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of
the Instruments through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the relevant Dealers which
constitute the final placement of the Instruments contemplated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Instruments includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Instruments are
not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11)
of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Instruments includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Instruments are not
intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who
is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it
forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions
of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under
the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of
UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
EU MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET - The Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Instruments may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance / Professional investors and
ECPs only target market", which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments
and which channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Instruments (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Instruments (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any
Dealer subscribing for any Instruments is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise
iii

neither the Arranger nor any Dealer nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET The Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Instruments may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance / Professional investors and
ECPs only target market" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments and
which channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Instruments (for the purposes of this paragraph, a "UK distributor") should
take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a UK distributor subject to the FCA
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the ``UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules'') is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Instruments (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.

None of the Arranger, any Dealer, salesperson or any other person has been authorised to give any
information or to make any representation not contained in or not otherwise consistent with this Offering
Memorandum (as the same may be supplemented from time to time) or any other information supplied by
the Issuer in connection with the Programme or the issue or sale of the Instruments and, if given or made,
any such information or representation should not be relied on as having been authorised by the Issuer or
the Arranger.
CURRENCY OF INFORMATION
Neither the delivery of this Offering Memorandum or any Pricing Supplement nor the offering, sale or
delivery of any Instrument shall, in any circumstances, create any implication that the information
contained herein is true subsequent to the date hereof or the date upon which this Offering Memorandum
has been most recently supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial situation
of the Issuer or Canada since the date hereof or, as the case may be, the date upon which this Offering
Memorandum has been most recently supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection
with the Programme is correct at any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the
date indicated in the document containing the same.
INDEPENDENT EVALUATION
None of this Offering Memorandum, any Pricing Supplement, any financial statements or any further
information supplied in connection with the Instruments or the Programme constitutes an offer or an
invitation to subscribe for or to purchase any Instruments or is intended to provide the basis of any credit or
other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation or a statement of opinion (or a report
of either of these things) by the Issuer, the Arranger or any Dealer that any investor(s) or any recipient of
this Offering Memorandum or any information incorporated by reference herein or any further information
supplied in connection with the Instruments or the Programme (including the Pricing Supplement) should
subscribe for, or purchase, any Instruments. Each investor contemplating purchasing Instruments should
make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness and the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer and Canada. Each potential
investor in Instruments should determine for itself the relevance of the information contained in this
Offering Memorandum and its purchase of Instruments should be based upon such investigation as it
deems necessary. The Arranger expressly does not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs
iv

of the Issuer or Canada during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor or potential investor in
the Instruments of any information coming to the attention of the Arranger.
RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND DISTRIBUTION
This Offering Memorandum does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell Instruments and
is not soliciting any offer to buy Instruments in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted.
Neither this Offering Memorandum nor any Pricing Supplement may be used for the purpose of an offer or
solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person
to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
The distribution of this Offering Memorandum or any Pricing Supplement and the offering, sale and
delivery of Instruments in certain countries and jurisdictions may be restricted by law. In particular, no
action has been taken by the Issuer which would permit a public offering of the Instruments or distribution
of this Offering Memorandum in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the
Instruments may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Offering Memorandum nor
any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except
under circumstances that will result in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Persons into
whose possession this Offering Memorandum comes are required by the Issuer to inform themselves
about, and to observe, any such restrictions.
Instruments have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States and may include Instruments in bearer form which are subject to United States tax law
requirements. Subject to certain exceptions relating to sales made to "Qualified Institutional Buyers" in
reliance on Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") as more fully described under
the heading "Subscription and Sale" herein, Instruments may not be offered, sold or, in the case of
Instruments issued in bearer form, delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of,
U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S")). Instruments shall be
subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth under the heading "Transfer Restrictions" herein.
This Offering Memorandum and the applicable Pricing Supplement have been prepared for use in
connection with the offer and sale of Instruments outside the United States to Non-U.S. persons in reliance
on Regulation S and within the United States to "Qualified Institutional Buyers" in reliance on Rule 144A.

any related Pricing Supplement, in the United States of America, Japan, Switzerland, the EEA (including
Belgium), the United Kingdom, the People's Republic of China, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand,
India and Brazil see "Subscription and Sale".
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN BELGIUM
The Instruments are not intended to be advertised, offered, sold, resold, transferred, delivered or otherwise
made available and should not be offered, sold, resold, transferred, delivered or otherwise made available
to any individual in Belgium qualifying as a consumer within the meaning of Article I.1 of the Belgian Code
of Economic Law, as amended from time to time.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Instruments may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in any Instruments
must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each
potential investor should consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional
advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant
Instruments, the merits and risks of investing in the relevant Instruments and the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Memorandum or any applicable supplement
hereto;
v

(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the relevant Instruments and the impact such
investment will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
relevant Instruments, including where principal or interest is payable in one or more currencies, or
where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's
currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the relevant Instruments and is familiar with the behaviour of
any relevant indices and financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
A range of Instruments may be issued under the Programme, including Instruments with a fixed or floating
rate of interest, Instruments with a variable rate of interest and Instruments that may be payable in a
currency other than the currency in which they are denominated. These Instruments may have features
which contain particular risks for potential investors. Accordingly, a potential investor should not invest in
Instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) to evaluate how
the Instruments will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of such
Instruments and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Instruments are legal investments for it, (2) Instruments can be used as collateral for various
types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Instruments. Financial
institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate
treatment of Instruments under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
CREDIT RATINGS
The Programme has been rated AAA (with respect to long-term debt) and A-1+ (with respect to short-term
debt) by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") and Aaa (with respect to long-term debt) and P-1 (with respect to
short-term debt) by Moody's Canada Inc. ("Moody's"). In addition, the Issuer has received long term
issuer credit ratings of AAA from S&P and Aaa from Moody's Investors Service Inc. and short term
(commercial paper) ratings of A-1+ from S&P and P-1 from Moody's. Tranches of Instruments to be
issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Instruments is rated, such
rating may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Such ratings will not necessarily be the
same as the ratings assigned to the Programme or any Instruments already issued. A rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
