High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom Embassy in London

Reviews

1. Gerrard Russell ★★★★★

   Positioned with unrivalled gravitas directly overlooking historic Trafalgar Square, the High Commission of Canada commands one of the world's most recognizable—and busiest—intersections. The building itself is a stunning contemporary masterpiece. Far from a mere embassy, this structure was clearly conceived in the 21st century to be a vibrant, elegant cultural exhibition, a showcase of Canadian design and identity placed strategically at the very heart of London's tourist pulse. Its beauty is truly breathtaking.

   never thought I'd be writing a 5-star review for a federal agency, but the passport staff at the Consulate were AMAZING. Genuine concern for our situation and thorough, professional and effective assistance throughout a complex process.

   It is very quick and safe to get my passport renewed and to receive my new passport delivered by registered mail. The officer who replied my question by email was quick and helpful! Moreover, the official website of information and process is clear and well-organized. Thank you all very much for being responsible, patient and helpful to people who need help!

   The High Commission of Canada in London is located right on Trafalgar Square, an absolutely excellent and historic location. I was truly amazed by the beauty and elegance of the building. It was designed by the 21st century to exhibit the Canadian culture to London visitors at the one of the busiest touristy hot spot area in the world.

   THE WORST HIGH COMMISSION OF CANADA IN LONDON. If you have applied for visit visa to Canada and application ended up in this office. Then expect to wait for maybe around 1, 2 years or probably centuries regarding application. If you have applied for the study visa, do not worry, they will definitely give you quicker reply in REFUSAL. Super lazy staff to even bother to work on your applications, if they do not have the headcounts to handle the applications, then hire more staff or refund customers for their money and time you have wasted. UNPROFESSIONAL!!

   I used to think that Canada is a better country than the USA but unfortunately Canada is as difficult and unwelcoming as their neighbours. For a simple tourist visa, they make you sit for hours filling out forms in a very clunky website, then they charge you over £100 for your own time, then they force you to take time off work to go to a local 3rd party agency, where the staff speaks to people with a condescending tone that resembles soldiers yelling at POWs, and when you finally reach the appointment they send you back home if you didn’t print out all paperwork they inundate your inbox with. My time is precious to me, and so is my dignity. I deserve to be treated with respect especially given that all I wanted is to have a good time travelling the beautiful country Canada seems to be. And spend money there. As a result, I will just cancel my flights and go somewhere where I am more welcome. Canada: Don’t be like them. You can do better. You should do better.

   This institution is not Canada's embassy. It is Canada's shame. Needed to get Permanent Resident Travel Document urgently. 6 weeks later, no response at all. Ended up travelling via the US and land border. A similar application for a different person was processed at Paris embassy in less than 2 weeks. Oh... and when I asked them to withdraw my application and refund the 50 CAD processing fee, they happily agreed to withdraw but provided no refund as "processing already started." Avoid at all costs.

   Had one of our passports stolen while out eating. The lady who helped us get our passport back was the nicest most helpful person on the planet. Thank you so much for all your care and support.
