The Ambassador of Sweden to Canada (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Canada) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the governor general and government of Canada.
In August 1943, the Swedish government decided to establish a diplomatic mission in Ottawa and close the Consulate General of Sweden, Montreal. The Swedish consul general in Montreal Per Wijkman was appointed as Swedish first envoy in Canada.[1]
In March 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Canadian governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.[2]
