Overview
The High Commission of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana in Ottawa represents Guyana in Canada, another Commonwealth nation with deep bilateral ties. Canada has a significant Guyanese diaspora — estimated at over 100,000 people, concentrated in the Greater Toronto Area — making it the second-largest overseas Guyanese community after the United States. Canadian mining companies are major investors in Guyana's gold and bauxite sectors, and Canada provides development assistance through various programs. The High Commission handles bilateral relations, consular services, and trade facilitation. Guyana also maintains a consulate in Toronto to serve the large diaspora community there.Read moreRead less
