High Commission of Canada
London holds embassies and high commissions from around the world, each with a role of its own. The High Commission of Canada is the official diplomatic mission Canada maintains in the United Kingdom. It works from Canada House, the main point of contact for Canadians who visit, live or work here.
Emergency consular assistance is on call around the clock, so a lost passport or legal trouble gets an answer at any hour. Serious cases reach the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa for backup. The everyday side covers passports, citizenship papers, notarial certifications and criminal record checks. Staff also guide Canadians through marriages and divorces, pension claims and voting in elections back home. The traffic runs in both directions: visa and immigration desks serve people who want to study, work or settle in Canada. The consular district stretches beyond England to the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar, with honorary consuls in Belfast, Edinburgh and Wales.
Canada House doubles as a cultural venue, staging exhibitions and events about Canada alongside the office work. Newsletters keep the community current on Canadian culture and royal occasions in Britain. For anyone with a Canadian question in London, this is the natural first stop.
