Canadian High Commission

A Canadian High Commission is the diplomatic mission of Canada in another country where Canada does not have an embassy. It represents Canadian interests, provides services to Canadians abroad, and works to strengthen relationships with the host country. High Commissions are typically located in Commonwealth countries. They handle various functions, including issuing visas, assisting Canadian citizens, promoting trade, and fostering cultural exchanges. The head of a High Commission is called a High Commissioner, equivalent to an ambassador, and plays a key role in diplomatic discussions and negotiations.
