Consular Services

Global Affairs Canada offers Canadians travelling or living abroad a full range of effective and efficient consular services through our embassies, consulates, high commissions and otherCanadian government offices abroad. The Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa can assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Consular officers will only get as involved as a case requires, and there are limits to the assistance we can give you. Note that you may have to pay for some of these services.

The following links provide details on assistance offered and not offered by consular officers:

Register

We encourage you to register whether you are planning a vacation or living abroad.

Registration of Canadians Abroad is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to notify you in case of an emergency abroad or a personal emergency at home. The service also enables you to receive important information before or during a natural disaster or civil unrest.
