Overview
The British High Commission in Ottawa is the UK's main diplomatic mission to Canada and the primary point of contact for British nationals across the country. The High Commission coordinates consular coverage through Consulates-General in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary. It provides emergency assistance, passport applications, notarial services, and support for British citizens in difficulty. Canadian nationals applying for UK visas for tourism, study, work, or family visits should use the official UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) online process. British nationals residing in Canada can register with the mission and contact the consular team for assistance with documentation and legal matters.
