The Embassy of Canada to Russia in Moscow is the diplomatic mission of Canada to Russia. Included in its mandate are the countries of Armenia and Uzbekistan. It also provides visa services to residents of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
As of June 2018, to service such a vast area, the mission was staffed with 30 Canadian diplomats who were supported by 70 locally engaged personnel and a fleet of 8 vehicles. From Moscow, Canada also supports honorary consulates in Vladivostok, Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and Yerevan (Armenia). A consulate general in St. Petersburg was closed in March 2007.
Previously located at 23 Starokonyushenny Pereulok (Russian : Староконюшенный переулок, 23) in the Khamovniki District of Moscow, the three-storey yellow and white Art Nouveau style chancery was decommissioned in 2020 by the Canadian government due to major structural issues of the building. As a temporary solution, the Canadian embassy will move with the British embassy at Smolenskaya Naberezhnaya 10 in Moscow. [1]
In Canada, Russia is represented by its embassy in Ottawa, consulates general in Toronto and Montreal, and honorary consulates in Vancouver, Edmonton, Windsor, ON, and St. John's, NL.
