The Canadian women won both of their matches in Group C. In the first round, the Canadian representatives defeated the Spanish team with a score of 3-0.

In the second round, the Canadian quartet proved to be stronger than the Polish team. Marina Stakusic defeated Magdalena Frech (4-6, 7-5, 6-3), Leylah Fernandez overcame Magda Linette (6-2, 6-3), and the duo of Eugenie Bouchard and Gabriela Dabrowski closed out Veronika Falkowska and Katarzyna Kawa with a score of 6-2, 6-3.

The opponents for the Canadian team in the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs will be determined in the match of the last round of Group D between the Czech Republic and the United States.
