High Commission of Canada in Jamaica

Welcome to the High Commission of Canada in Jamaica. It is an honour for me to represent Canada in Jamaica. Our two countries have built a productive bilateral relationship and Jamaica is a key partner for Canada in the Caribbean
The staff at the High Commission in Kingston work to deliver a wide range of programs, including consular services, political and economic relations, trade and investment, international education, development cooperation, security cooperation and immigration processing. Through our Consulate offices in Montego Bay (Jamaica), in Nassau (Bahamas), and in Grand Cayman (Cayman Islands), we also offer emergency services to a large number of Canadians living in or vacationing in the region.
Canada has identified the Americas, including the Caribbean, as a foreign policy priority, and through our engagement in the region, we work to increase mutual economic opportunity, address insecurity and strengthen institutions and foster lasting relationships with our partners in the Americas. Canada’s long-standing engagement with Jamaica, including with government, civil society, business and academic partners, supports our commitment to these objectives.
Because we share a common language and similar systems of government, geographical proximity, and a Commonwealth heritage, Canada and Jamaica enjoy a solid and deep-rooted friendship. We are like-minded partners on many issues, including governance, security and cooperation in international fora. But the presence of extensive diaspora communities in Canada and a large number of tourists, traders, investors and family members who travel back and forth is the glue that binds us together.
