On behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Kenya, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Kenya High Commission in Ottawa, Canada.

This website serves as a gateway to our services, initiatives, and engagements, and reflects our commitment to advancing Kenya’s national interests, strengthening the longstanding friendship and partnership between Kenya and Canada, and promoting Kenya’s engagement in multilateral diplomacy.

Strengthening Kenya-Canada Relations

Kenya and Canada enjoy a longstanding partnership founded on shared values, mutual respect, and a common commitment to democracy, multilateralism, sustainable development, and international cooperation. The High Commission works to deepen these relations and advance our shared interests through the following priority areas:

Trade and Investment: Promoting bilateral trade, facilitating investment, and fostering partnerships between Kenyan and Canadian businesses to unlock new opportunities for economic growth and prosperity.

Consular Services: Providing timely and reliable assistance to Kenyan nationals in Canada and facilitating passport, visa, document authentication, and other consular services in accordance with applicable requirements.

Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation: Strengthening collaboration with the Government of Canada and other stakeholders, while advancing Kenya’s interests through its formal representation to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in areas including education, trade and investment, energy, technology and innovation, climate action, peace and security, sustainable development, and international civil aviation.

Tourism and Cultural Diplomacy: Showcasing Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, vibrant communities, and world-renowned wildlife, while encouraging greater tourism, cultural exchange, and people-to-people connections between our two countries.

Our Diaspora: A Vital Bridge Between Kenya and Canada

To the Kenyan diaspora across Canada, you remain an integral part of Kenya’s national development and an important bridge between our two nations. Your contributions, enterprise, expertise, and enduring connection to home strengthen our communities and enrich the Kenya-Canada partnership.

The High Commission remains committed to safeguarding the welfare and legitimate interests of Kenyan nationals in Canada, strengthening engagement with the diaspora, facilitating access to consular services, promoting investment and business opportunities, and supporting initiatives that enable Kenyans abroad to contribute to Kenya’s social and economic transformation.

We encourage you to remain connected with the High Commission and to take advantage of the opportunities available to participate in Kenya’s development agenda and the continued growth of our bilateral relations.
