ABOUT THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF CANADA IN DENVER
The Consulate General of Canada in Denver is the official representative of the Government of Canada in the five-state U.S. Mountain West Region: Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Led by Consul General Sylvain Fabi, the Consulate General’s programs include trade and investment; political, economic and public diplomacy; and consular services for Canadians living or traveling within the region. The Consulate team of 18 staff are tasked with strengthening trade and economic ties; enhancing political, academic and cultural links; and assisting Canadians in the mission’s territory. WHAT WE DO CONSULAR SERVICES FOR CANADIANS The Consulate General’s consular services team helps Canadians who face unexpected situations, such as arrest, detention, severe illness or injury, and the loss or theft of passports. As part of its core mandate, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) delivers consular services and advice to Canadians, provides timely and appropriate routine services – such as notarial services and urgent passport services – and coordinates the Government of Canada’s response to emergencies abroad that affect Canadians. GAC’s consular policies, including service standards, establish the framework within which consular officials deliver consistent and client-focused services to Canadians. Registration of Canadians Abroad is a free service for Canadian citizens that allows the Government of Canada to notify you in case of an emergency abroad or a personal emergency at home. The service also enables you to receive important information before or during a natural disaster or civil unrest. The Consulate General of Canada in Denver encourages Canadian citizens to register for this service if you are living or visiting the region or if you are planning a vacation abroad. TRADE SERVICES FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES The Consulate General’s International Business Development team is focused on making the connections necessary for Canadian companies to thrive in the Rocky Mountain West territory. The Consulate’s priority industry sectors are energy, clean technology, aerospace and ICT. The Consulate’s five-person trade team is eager to help Canadian companies looking to expand into the Mountain West and form partnerships with American companies. We also promote foreign direct investment into Canada. DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATION The Consulate General, led by the Consul General, is Canada’s voice in the U.S. Mountain West Region. The Foreign Policy and Diplomacy Service (FPDS) team engages with local, state and federal officials as well as advocacy and industry influencers to represent Canadian interests, ensuring that the bilateral relationship remains strong at all levels. The FPDS team also promotes Canadian arts, culture and values in the mission’s territory, including by partnering with local festivals and events.
