Welcome to the website of the
Canadian High Commission in Singapore.

Welcome to cool, connected, Canada in Singapore! Canada is one of the most connected countries in the world and a leader in E-government. This instant gateway will bring Canada to your desk top, with a wealth of information available at your finger tips.

Our mission is to expand Canada-Singapore connections across a wide spectrum of endeavours. I encourage you to explore our website and its multiple links.

Find out about our programs, services and activities in Singapore: Consular services, Education, Immigration, Trade, Political, Culture & Public Affairs.

Canada and Singapore share many similarities in terms of history, economy, cultural and social heterogeneity. Both countries are part of the Commonwealth as well as members of international and regional organizations like the United Nations and Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC). We collaborate within these multilateral platforms as well as bilaterally on issues of common concern and interest ranging from globalization, regional security and education to technical cooperation and trade facilitation.

As knowledge-based, pro-business and competitive economies with an advanced communications infrastructure, we share complementary economic strengths in the areas of trade and investments, aerospace, biotechnology, research and development, new media, and information & communications technologies.

Our similarities and common interest have been important in achieving mutually beneficial goals, as well as the fostering of better relations, understanding and friendships between our people.

I hope you will enjoy your visit, and in the process, be inspired to "live" the Canadian experience. Regularly ranked as one of the best countries in the world in which to live, I invite you to visit Canada to enjoy the treasures of my country; her stunningly beautiful landscapes, dynamic cities, innovative spirit, vibrantly diverse and enterprising society.

If you require any assistance or wish to receive additional information on opportunities in these fields of interest, please do communicate directly with our respective programmes.

Happy surfing!

High Commissioner
