Foreign diplomatic representatives in Canada.
Note on contacting foreign diplomatic representatives in Canada:
Embassies and high commissions are not usually called for security-related questions such as location of military bases or the functioning of secret services. Ability to obtain information from diplomatic representatives depends on availability of information and cooperation from individual countries.
Canadian diplomatic representatives abroad.
Note on contacting Canadian diplomatic representatives serving abroad:
The DIRB must go through the Refugee Branch, Asylum Division of Citizenship and Immigration Canada in order to ask questions of Canadian diplomatic representatives serving abroad. The procedures for contacting Canadian missions will cause delays in responding to Information Requests. Moreover, ability to obtain information is subject to Canadian missions' resource limitations.
