Capital Advantage

In addition to the embassies, consulates and non-governmental organizations located in Ottawa, federal government departments such as Global Affairs Canada, Public Safety Canada and The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada maintain direct relations with Europe, Russia and Eurasia.
