Travelling Abroad? Assistance for Canadians
Preparation is the key to successful travel. Smart travellers learn about their destination before leaving Canada. They understand the pitfalls that can await the unprepared. The consular services of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada provide assistance to Canadian travellers. We are committed to helping Canadians prepare for foreign travel and to providing you with a variety of services once you're abroad.

Canada's consular services operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through a network of over 270 offices in more than 180 countries. The offices include embassies, high commissions, consulates, cooperation offices and honorary consuls. In some places, Australian diplomatic officers provide consular services to Canadians.
