Country origin rules are associated with factors used to determine if the product is eligible for preferential duty free treatment under CETA.

A declaration on the invoice or any other commercial document accompanying the shipment is enough.

Proof of origin requirements under Canada's free trade agreements
Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates are generally applicable for good traded between France and Canada. Goods that meet The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) rules of origin can benefit from preferential duty free import. The MFN tariff rates of Canada and France apply to goods that do not meet the rules of origin (non-originating goods) under CETA.
The value for duty amount for all of Canada's free trade agreements (including from France via CETA) for which the proof of origin / certificate of origin is waived was changed to $3,300 CAD in July 2020. This change was made to harmonize the regulations with the new NAFTA/ CUSMA.
For imports not exceeding $3,300 to Canada, the requirement for proof of origin is waived. The requirement on the importer to maintain records (for example, commercial invoice and B3) applies even if the CBSA does not require a certification of origin or if a requirement for a certification of origin has been waived.
The CETA country of origin declaration has a specific wording, which is fairly straight forward (check with up to date regulations before shipping). Useful information: Benefit from Canada's free trade agreements.
