About consular corps
In addition to embassies and high commissions, regional or local representatives of foreign governments in Ontario are known collectively as the consular corps. Their status, privileges and immunities are governed by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963. Their role is:
- represent their countries and promote their countries’ trade within the Consular District
- assist and protect nationals of the countries they represent
- protect their countries’ shipping interests, legalize ship’s papers, assist their countries’ seamen in distress and adjudicate certain shipping matters
- administer oaths and legalize foreign documents
- issue passports, visas and certificates
Ontario’s consular corps is one of the largest in the world, with more than 100 consular offices.

Career consular officers in Ontario
Career consular officers are normally professional — that is, rotational, “diplomats” — who have taken up posting in Canada at their home country’s request, with Global Affairs Canada’s consent.
They either:
- reside and exercise their consular functions/duties in the same Ontario city where the consular post is established
- reside outside the province but have consular jurisdiction over Ontario or parts thereof
As per the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, the term “consular officer” refers to any person — including the head of a consular post — entrusted in that capacity with the exercise of consular functions.
Head of consular post means the person charged with the duty of acting in that capacity. According to the date when they received authorization to exercise their functions, they can be ranked into the following four classes:
- consuls general
- consuls
- vice-consuls
- consular agents
Honorary consular officers
Honorary consular officers — as opposed to “career” (or professional) consuls — are either Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada who, after receiving Global Affairs Canada’s consent, represent the interests of a foreign country within a specified consular district. This district covers either the Province of Ontario or parts thereof.
Their role includes promoting trade, investment, cultural relations, providing passports and handle day-to-day issues or problems for nationals of the country they represent.
Honorary consular officers often arrange visits of their ambassadors or high commissioners or prominent people from their countries.
