High Commissioner (Canada)

A High Commissioner is a senior diplomat representing Canada in another Commonwealth country, similar to an ambassador. Unlike ambassadors, who serve in non-Commonwealth nations, High Commissioners handle diplomatic relations, promote Canadian interests, and facilitate cooperation between the countries within the Commonwealth. They work on issues like trade, politics, culture, and security, acting as a key link between the Canadian government and the host country. Essentially, the High Commissioner is Canada’s official diplomatic representative in a fellow Commonwealth country, ensuring strong bilateral relations and communication.
