The following is a list of state and official visits made by Canada since the country's Confederation in 1867. These trips consist of either the monarch or a representativeâÂÂthe governor general, a lieutenant governor, or another member of the royal familyâÂÂvisiting a foreign country in an official capacity, either representing the Canadian people in a full state visit or simply in ceremonies related to Canada abroad. In some cases, such as royal weddings in the United Kingdom or D-Day commemoration ceremonies in France, the Canadian monarch and/or one or more other members of the Royal Family and the governor general will be present together.
