About this website
Independent information website
embassies-consulates-canada.com is an independent information website. It is not an official website of the Government of Canada, Global Affairs Canada, any foreign government, embassy, high commission, consulate or other diplomatic or consular mission.
The purpose of this website is to help visitors find publicly available information about embassies, high commissions, consulates and other diplomatic or consular representations in Canada and Canadian missions abroad.
References to governments, diplomatic missions, organisations, countries, flags, names or official institutions are provided for identification and informational purposes only and do not imply affiliation, endorsement or official status.
Informational purpose
General information only
The information published on this website is provided for general informational purposes.
It is not intended to constitute legal, immigration, visa, travel, diplomatic or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for information or advice provided directly by the responsible government authority or diplomatic mission.
Individual circumstances, entry requirements, visa rules, consular procedures and administrative requirements may differ depending on nationality, place of residence, purpose of travel and other factors.
Information quality
Accuracy and updates
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information and to use reliable sources, including official government and diplomatic mission websites where available.
However, embassy and consulate information can change without notice. Addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, opening arrangements, jurisdictions, appointment procedures, services and mission status may be changed by the responsible authorities at any time.
We therefore cannot guarantee that every item of information on this website is complete, error-free or current at all times.
If we become aware of an error or outdated information, we may review and correct the relevant content.
Before you rely on information
Always check official sources
Before travelling to an embassy or consulate, submitting an application, making an appointment or relying on consular information, visitors should confirm the relevant details directly with the responsible embassy, high commission, consulate, government department or other official authority.
Where available, mission pages on this website include links to official government or diplomatic sources to make independent verification easier.
Official government and mission websites should always be treated as the authoritative source for visa requirements, consular procedures, appointments, fees, opening arrangements and emergency information.
