Welcome

Dear visitor of our website, dear friend of Switzerland,

Welcome to the website of the Consulate General of Switzerland in Vancouver – Switzerland’s official presence in Western Canada since 1913.

In addition to providing the full range of traditional consular services, our mission is to strengthen and expand economic, cultural, educational, and academic ties between Switzerland and Western Canada. We take pride in supporting and growing these relationships across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.

The Consulate General also supports the vibrant Swiss community in Western Canada. We work closely with local organizations such as the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) and the many Swiss associations active throughout our region.

To stay informed about our activities and events – including the Swiss Film Club – we invite you to subscribe to our newsletter.

My team and I look forward to connecting with you and continuing to strengthen the ties between Switzerland and Western Canada.
