Aeroponically grown greenhouse produce is ineligible to be labeled as organic in Canada. This is because the products aren't grown in soil and Canadian policy includes soil improvement as a requirement for organic production. For the same reason, hydroponically grown produce are also ineligible. On the other hand, the USDA does allow for both Aeroponic and Hydroponic greenhouse products to be labeled as organic in the United States.
