Canadian High Commission

By Susan Munroe, About.com

Definition: Canadian high commissions are the same as Canadian embassies but are located in the capital cities of British Commonwealth countries. The senior officer at a high commission is the Canadian High Commissioner. Canadian high commissions usually offer a full range of diplomatic and consular services.

For an index to the Web sites, physical addresses and contact information of Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates which have a presence on the Web, see Canadian Embassies Online.
