Austria–Canada relations refers to the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Austria and Canada, the importance of which centres on the history of Austrian migration to Canada. Approximately 200,000 Canadians have Austrian ancestry.[1] Both nations are members of the OECD and the United Nations.
In 1855, the Austro-Hungarian Empire opened a consulate in Halifax.[2] The first large wave of Austrian migrants to arrive to Canada occurred in the early 20th century.[1] In 1902, a consulate was established in Montreal. During World War I, both nations fought on opposing sides and confronted each other primarily in France during the Hundred Days Offensive. After Austria's annexation by Germany (Anschluss) several Austrian refugees immigrated to Canada.[1]
Soon after World War II, Austria opened a consulate-general in Ottawa in 1949. In 1952, Austria and Canada officially established diplomatic relations and in 1958 Austria opened a resident embassy in Ottawa.[2]
Relations between both nations follow their mutual commitment to multilateralism, trade and investment and increasing people-to-people ties.[2] There have been several visits between leaders of both nations.
In 2022, both nations celebrated 70 years of diplomatic relations.[3]
