List of high commissioners of Canada to India

The high commissioner for Canada in the Republic of India is the official representative of the Government of Canada to the Government of India.

The current Canadian high commissioner is Christopher Cooter, who was appointed on the advice of Prime Minister Mark Carney on August 28, 2025. As members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between Canada and India are at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Thus, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.

The High Commission of Canada is located at 7/8 Shantipath, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110 021, India.

History of diplomatic relations

Diplomatic relations between Canada and India were established on April 6, 1945. John Doherty Kearney was appointed as Canada's first high commissioner in India on December 23, 1946, and presented his credentials on April 27, 1947.
