Emergencies
The Department's Emergency Operations Centre is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It offers
assistance in case of an emergency situation abroad.
Problems
We assist thousands of Canadians each year in dealing with problems in foreign countries. The majority
of these problems are minor, but some result in tragic situations.
Drugs and Travel
Canadians often get into serious trouble for buying, selling, using, or transporting drugs. Being Canadian
doesn't exempt you from local laws regarding illegal drugs.
Who We Are and What We Do
We are committed to providing a wide variety of services to Canadians abroad, but there are some
limitations.
Studying Abroad
Canadian students have studied in every country of the world. Studying abroad requires careful
preparation.
Working Abroad
All countries have special entry requirements for persons intending to work. Preparation is the key to a
successful international work experience.
Retirement Abroad
There are many factors to consider when you're thinking of retiring in a foreign country, including tax
laws, medical care, and security issues.
