Due to riots and protests that have been sparked by the announcement of the results of the first round of presidential elections, the Embassy of Canada in Haiti (Port-au-Prince) is closed until further notice.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that there will be no interruption of consular services because of the closure. The Embassy can be contacted by e-mail prnce@international.gc.ca and Canadians in need of urgent assistance should contact 613-996-8885.

As the situation can change at any time, visitors are advised to check before moving, to get the latest updates on the security situation in the region in which they travel.
