Since July 2015, the Consulate General in Toronto is the only German mission in Canada to offer comprehensive consular services.

The Consulate General in Vancouver continues to offer most consular services.

The Embassy in Ottawa and the Consulate General in Montreal have ceased to offer consular services altogether.

Employees of the Consulate General in Toronto may offer limited consular services for German citizens living in Quebec in the premises of the Consulate General in Montreal several times each year during the off-season (fall to early spring). As soon as the time for the next consular week is determined, it will be published here on our website together with information about the booking of appointments. We kindly ask for your understanding that we are not yet able to communicate the timing of the next consular week. For any consular matter you might wish to settle in the meantime, the Consulate General in Toronto shall be glad to assist you.
