The Embassy of Norway in Ottawa was established in 1949. The main task of the embassy is to promote Norwegian interests in Canada and further develop Norwegian-Canadian relations. In addition to the embassy there are eleven Norwegian Honorary Consuls in different locations in Canada.[1]

Visa applications

Due to a representation agreement all visa applications for Norway in Canada are handled by the Embassy of Denmark in Ottawa.[1]

History

Norway's diplomatic representation in Canada was raised in 1942 to a legation, stationed in Montreal. [2] The first minister in Canada was Daniel Steen, who already had been General Consul in Montreal since 1934.[3] In 1949 the embassy was moved to the Canadian capital of Ottawa and upgraded to an embassy, led by an ambassador.
