The Embassy of Mexico in Canada, based out of Ottawa, is the primary diplomatic mission from Mexico to Canada.
Relations between the two nations were formally established on 30 January 1944, with Mexico eventually opening a consulate in Montreal in 1952. This consulate was later upgraded to an embassy and moved to Ottawa.[1]
The Embassy is located at 45 O´Connor Street, Suite 1000, Ottawa, Ontario.
