The Office of Protocol of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade welcomes you to Canada and to your new diplomatic mission
in the nation's capital. It is our hope that this web site will serve as your virtual diplomatic guide providing you with relevant information
through easy access. It offers a user-friendly hyperlink structure and deals with a significant number of subjects relevant to your stay and your
mission in Canada.
I particularly invite you to consult our Protocol reference page . This page provides specific information and
contacts such as: a description of Protocol services; a table of Canadian Order of Precedence; styles of addresses; a list of honours and salutes;
a directory of provincial Protocol offices; a calendar of Canadian government holidays and national days; a gallery of photos; a directory of
Foreign Representatives in Canada; and a list of the Order of Diplomatic Precedence. This reference page will be updated on a regular basis to
meet your needs. We will always welcome your comments in that respect.
