Q: Where are Canadian government offices located overseas?

A: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada can provide consular services to Canadians travelling or residing in over 270 cities in approximately 180 countries. These consular "service points" are found in Canadian embassies, high commissions, consulates general, consulates, consulates headed by honorary consuls, and offices. These offices provide different levels of service to Canadians travelling or residing abroad. The various types of offices are fully explained in the Description of Canadian Government Offices Abroad section. In some locations, Australian offices have agreed to provide consular assistance to Canadians. In return, Canada provides consular services to Australians at other locations.

Q: How can I contact a Canadian government office abroad?

A: A list of all Canadian offices abroad can be found in the List of Canadian Government Offices Abroad.

All of these offices provide assistance to Canadians during normal business hours.
