Join AUKUS 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 and go nuclear ☢️
This is probably the most out their option, but with the UK, US, and Aus joining forces on new subs, is it that much of a stretch to let another Five Eyes partner into the club?

Sweden 🇸🇪 and the A26
Saab’s A26 - as offered to the Netherlands for its Walrus-class replacement would offer the Canadians an expeditionary capability.

Germany 🇩🇪 with the Type 212CD
With six in the works for the German and Norwegian Navies, the Type 212CD and more specifically it’s expeditionary variant the Type 212CD E is a likely candidate to at least be offered to the Canadians.

France 🇫🇷 and the conventional Barracuda
Having been canned by the Aussies at the final stretch, Naval Group knows submarines and the Barracuda family could easily fill Canadian needs.
Should they desire nuclear boats, France could also be an option as opposed to AUKUS.

Japan 🇯🇵 the Taigei class
While similar in externals to the prior Soryu-class, the Taigei class features the increasingly significant tech of lithium-ion batteries offering enhanced endurance and other improvements over lead-acid batteries.

South Korea 🇰🇷 KSS-III
South Korea’s largest boats to date, the nearly 3,400t subs offer endurance of 20 days and if earlier reports are anything to go by, could be delivered pretty quickly.

This list is of cause not exhaustive, but for my two cents, I think the A26 could have a good shot.
