Do I need an appointment?

Yes, for most services, according to the official website. Consular services by appointment only; the embassy office is open Monday to Friday 09:00–12:00 and 13:00–17:00, also by appointment. Emergency consular assistance for Canadians is available 24/7.

Travelling from Sweden to Canada

Swedish travellers should confirm visa requirements for Canada with the Canadian embassy before booking; the Swedish Foreign Ministry publishes travel advice for Canada but no visa rules for other countries.

Closing days

Like most offices in Sweden, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Epiphany (6 January), Ascension Day and All Saints’ Day. The Canadian national day, 1 July, normally means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

Canadian nationals in urgent need of help can reach the embassy on +46 8 453 30 00. Embassies can issue emergency travel documents, contact relatives and provide lists of lawyers or doctors; they cannot pay bills or act as a lawyer. In Sweden, the emergency number is 112. Swedish citizens who need help in Canada should contact the Swedish embassy responsible for the country or the Swedish Foreign Ministry’s 24-hour consular duty service on +46 8 405 50 05; Sweden Abroad lists the local contacts.
