Embassy of Canada to Switzerland in Bern is also accredited to Liechtenstein.

Consular office does not provide visa and immigration services.

Canadian Embassy provides these consular services:

• Assists Canadian citizens in cases of emergency;
• Registers Canadian citizens abroad;
• Issues and renews passports;
• Registers births of children abroad;
• Allows Canadian citizens abroad to participate in electoral events;
• Deals with adoption and citizenship matters.

In case of lost or stolen Canadian passport abroad, Canadian citizens should report the loss or theft to the nearest Government of Canada office.

Starting March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa.

Citizens of Switzerland need an eTA to visit or transit through Canada by air. If they travel by land or sea, they will not need an eTA when they enter Canada. However, they must travel with proper identification - a valid passport.

Applying for an eTA is a simple online process that takes just a few minutes. To apply the applicant must have a valid passport, credit card, and email address.

The Embassy is closed on public holidays.
