Canada-Czech Republic relations are foreign relations between Canada and the Czech Republic. Canada has an embassy in Prague. The Czech Republic has an embassy in Ottawa, consulate general in Toronto and 2 honorary consulates (in Calgary and Winnipeg).
Both countries are full members of NATO and of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. There are around 98,000 people of Czech descent living in Canada.
In July 2009, Canada reinstated the requirement for people from the Czech Republic to have visas before entering Canada. The Czech Republic reciprocated by recalling its ambassador to Canada for consultations, imposing visa requirement for holders of Canadian diplomatic and official passports, and asking the European Commission to require visas for Canadian citizens to enter the European Union.[1][2] (The Czech Republic, as a member of the Schengen Zone, cannot unilaterally implement visa requirements or controls for Canadian citizens).
