As mentioned in the post above, what constitutes as European is decided by the European Council and European Commission. You are correct in that it is a requirement but there is nothing stopping them from going "Canada is European, as it shares our values, ideals, and ideologies". The decision does not have to be geographical.

It's unlikely and kind of a "the rules don't say a dog can't play basketball" type move but it's technically valid.
