- Canada has 1 embassy and 12 consulates general in the US, all on one number: 1-844-880-6519.

- Only Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco have online booking links; other offices book by phone or request form.
Canada has one embassy and 12 consulates general in the United States, and every Canadian in the US is assigned to one of them by the state they live in or are visiting. The embassy is in Washington, D.C. The consulates general are in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco and Seattle. All of them answer the same phone line, 1-844-880-6519, the Canadian Citizen Services Contact Centre for Canadians in the US.
Global Affairs Canada also carries a 13th consulate general entry for Honolulu, but that entry is mislabelled on its own site, shows a phone number only and gives no area served. Hawaii is covered by San Francisco, so this guide treats it that way. Details below were checked against travel.gc.ca and the individual office pages on international.gc.ca on November 6, 2026.
Before you go, know what these offices do not do. They do not take regular passport applications or citizenship applications, and they do not process visas, work permits or eTAs, which all go through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) online or by mail. What they do handle is emergency help, urgent passport cases, and some notarial services, nearly always by appointment. The sections below cover which office serves your state, what each one offers, and how to book.
If you are looking at Canadian passport rules for travel rather than office locations, see our guide to visa-free countries for Canadian passport holders. Our Canada embassy directory also lists Canadian missions in the US.
Which Canadian consulate covers your state
Each office serves a fixed list of states and territories, called its consular district. The table shows every office and the areas it covers. Two lines in the official lists need care: Delaware appears on both the Washington and New York pages, and California is split into Northern (San Francisco) and Southern (Los Angeles) without a published county line. If you live near a boundary, confirm with the contact centre before you book.
Some quick state lookups: Texas is Dallas, Florida is Miami, Georgia is Atlanta, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are New York, Virginia and Maryland are Washington, Arizona and Nevada are Los Angeles, Ohio and Kentucky are Detroit, and Hawaii is San Francisco. Every one of the 50 states, plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and Bermuda, is assigned to one of the offices in the table.
What Canadian consulates in the US do and do not offer
The Los Angeles and New York office pages state it plainly: Government of Canada offices in the United States do not provide regular passport services and do not provide citizenship services. Applications for both are made online or mailed to Canada. The table sets out what you can expect at the counter.
Notarial fees. They vary by office. At the New York office a certified true copy costs 20 Canadian dollars or 15 US dollars per copy, and payment is by money order or bank draft, no cash. Los Angeles lists per-document fees from US$15 to US$40 payable by Visa or MasterCard credit card.
About visas and eTAs. A consulate counter is not where you submit a visitor visa, a work permit or an eTA. The eTA is an online application that costs CAN$7. If you are a US resident planning a visit to Canada, apply on the IRCC site, not at a consulate. Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, travel on a Canadian passport instead of an eTA.
Citizenship by descent. Americans applying for proof of Canadian citizenship under Bill C-3 also apply online or by mail, not at a consulate. Our reporting on citizenship certificate demand under Bill C-3 and the processing delays covers that path.
How to book an appointment at a Canadian consulate
Nearly every consular service is by appointment. There is no single national booking site. Use the route that matches your office.
- Find your office in the table above and note its consular hours.
- For Los Angeles, New York or San Francisco, use the Book your appointment online link on the office entry at travel.gc.ca. Those are the three offices with online booking links.
- For any other office, call 1-844-880-6519 during business hours or send the online request form linked from the same travel.gc.ca page.
- Finish and check your documents first. The New York page tells visitors to complete all documents before booking.
- Bring payment in a form the office accepts. New York takes money orders or bank drafts, not cash; Los Angeles takes Visa or MasterCard.
- If your case is urgent, say so on the call. Emergencies do not wait for a booking slot.
Hours can change in a large-scale emergency, so confirm the day before. The posted hours appear in each office entry below where Global Affairs Canada publishes them.

Emergency help for Canadians in the US
For emergency assistance at any time, contact the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa. From the US you can call +1-613-996-8885 (collect calls are accepted where available) or 1-800-387-3124 toll-free, email [email protected], or send an SMS to +1-613-686-3658. WhatsApp is +1-613-909-8881 and Signal is +1-613-909-8087. For a local emergency in the US, dial 911 first.
The Emergency Watch and Response Centre says it does not give information on immigration, permanent residence or visas. Use IRCC for those. During business hours, the nearest office or the 1-844-880-6519 line is the right first call for a lost passport or an urgent document question.
Planning a trip or a document request
Match your need to the right channel before you book: passport and citizenship go to IRCC online or by mail, notarial work goes to your assigned office by appointment, and emergencies go to the 24/7 centre. If you are travelling and need to know how Canadian status affects border entry, see our report on what Canadians must show to enter the US. If you are weighing Canadian citizenship, the Canada physical presence calculator shows how many days you have counted.
Our Canada embassy directory page lists more locations, but it shows 25 Canadian locations, several of them with older addresses and phone numbers that do not match the Global Affairs Canada list, so use the addresses and districts on this page.
