Raonic and Vasek Pospisil each won singles matches Friday for the first two Canadian points, but Colombia's Juan-Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah won in doubles Saturday to sustain the South Americans' hopes of qualifying.
Canada booked a chance to take the trophy for the fourth year in a row while the Colombians have never qualified for the World Group.
