Canadian embassies and consulates

Canadian embassies and consulates are official government offices representing Canada's interests abroad. Embassies are typically located in capital cities and handle diplomatic relations, political issues, and major services like visas for travel to Canada. Consulates are found in other cities and focus on providing assistance to Canadian citizens abroad, such as passport services, legal help, and support during emergencies. Both serve as points of contact between Canada and the host country, promoting commerce, cultural ties, and cooperation. While embassies handle broader diplomatic responsibilities, consulates mainly support Canadians and facilitate travel and business connections.
