Far from considering myself an authority, I should think that a CofA is
delivered by the national authority concerned - Canadian in this case -
upon request by "whom it may interest" plus payment of their fees. If it
has not been done by the plane builder or their local agent (if any)
your only option would be to go for it yourself - which might prove
expensive.

Perhaps you could consider flying it on a foreign registration, probably
its current? That is common practice in certain European countries,
especially for IFR-certified planes.

As for the forwarder: I don't know any, but you might get useful answers
if you tell us from where to where the plane should go, more or less.
Chicago to Toronto is much different from Cape Town to Vancouver, you know.

Jan,

Thank you for your feedback.
I should check with the broker, but could be obtained further shipment in an European country or should be obtain before?
If not is there any other paper that could come together with the aircraft?
have you any ideea regarding the existence of a Conformity Certificate?
Thank you,

Sorry but the question is unclear. Shipment is to physically move the
plane from one place to another - no aviation authorities involved
there, only customs. Plus the fee for transport and some nasty details
like packaging, loading, securing, insurance, and more entertainment.

Again, unclear question, really sorry! Lots of paper can come, easily,
reams and reams and even some rolls. But what should be accomplished?

No. Again, what exactly are you wanting to accomplish? I gather you are
considering acquisition of a DA-40 somewhere, in Europe presumably, then
exporting it from wherever it might be now then transporting it to
Canada then import it into Canada then get it registered with the Canada
civil aviation authority, right? And what exactly is your problem with
precisely which of these stages?
