If you federalize there is no leaving since you share some parts of same governed country. But there should always be place for talks. It’s not impossible for a state in the USA or a province in Canada to go solo, but it is damn hard and requires a lot of paperwork. Also, you would need a system where you can’t just leave after you profitted hugely on the federation, and once your economy booms, then leaves. Atleast it should be like a divorce where we estimate how much it will cost for that state to deattache itself from the rest of the Federation. Pay back what you’ve gained from joining.
It’s theoretically possible but I think it would require a constitutional amendment, either to exclude the state or define a process. The unilateral secession question was definitely settled in the civil war.

It is not possible for a part of the US to leave the US in fact, there was a whole thing about it.

It is possible, but it is crazy difficult.
