The extraordinary meeting of EU trade Ministers will take place on 18 October, where they are expected to approve CETA.
Ahead of the meeting, Canada and the EU will work on a joint legally binding declaration which will seek to address public concerns over the agreement.
Last month, activists filed a complaint against CETA's early implementation to the German Constitutional Court.
The 18 October, details of which were announced on Friday by European trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström, comes in the face of growing public concerns over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Speaking in Bratislava, Malmström also said that the TTIP negotiations are going ahead as planned despite increasing public and political opposition.
The 15th round of TTIP talks will take place in New York from 3 to 7 October.
A Commission spokesperson said, "The aim of this round is to make as much progress as possible in all areas of the talks, in particular in the regulatory cooperation and rules areas."
On 5 October, both EU and US chief negotiators will break off from the TTIP talks to brief civil society, including NGOs and trade unions as well as business and consumer organisations, on the progress of negotiations.
On Monday, the Commission spokesperson said the briefing will take place in line with its "transparency policy."
Elsewhere, both the French Secretary of State for Trade, Matthias Fekl, and the Austrian Economy Minister Reinhold Mitterlehner, have suggested that the TTIP negotiations should start under a new name after the US elections in November.
The consensus is that an agreement will not be reached before US President Barack Obama leaves office in January.
In public statements earlier this month, Austrian, Belgian, French and German politicians questioned whether the EU/US trade talks should continue while, on Friday, 300 activists from 14 countries gathered in Bratislava, where EU trade Ministers met to discuss TTIP, to show their opposition to both CETA and TTIP.
Fabian Flues, trade campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe said, "TTIP is virtually dead and remains on life support until after the US elections. It is time it was ended and buried for good.
"We need a new transparent European trade system that aims at halting climate change, biodiversity collapse and the gross inequalities that exist."
Further comment came from Génon Jensen, Executive Director at the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL),who said, "The TTIP negotiators have crossed a number of the European Parliament's 'red lines' established to protect people's health from chemicals, particularly endocrine disrupting chemicals.
"It is no wonder that politicians are considering replacing the current mandate for the European Commission to negotiate the agreement."
