Canada-Germany relations

Canada-Germany relations

Canada-Germany relations are those between Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany. The two countries are close allies and fellow NATO members.

Missions

Until 2005 Canada's embassy was in Bonn, but in April of that year a new embassy opened in Berlin. Canada also operates consulates in Munich, Dusseldorf and Hamburg. The provinces of Ontario and Alberta have representatives in Germany, co-located in the consulates. Quebec runs a stand-alone bureau in Munich, with an “antenne culturelle” office in Berlin.

In addition to its embassy in Ottawa, Germany maintains consulates in Toronto and Vancouver. Additional diplomats responsible for specialized files are also accredited from Washington.
